Let 1 0 0 0 ! = A ∗ 1 4 k , in which A is not divided by 14. Then k will be the number of trailing zeros of 1000! in base 14.
In the expansion of 1000! there are ⌊ 7 1 0 0 0 ⌋ = 1 4 2 numbers divide by 7 , ⌊ 4 9 1 0 0 0 ⌋ = 2 0 number divide by 7 2 and ⌊ 3 4 3 1 0 0 0 ⌋ = 2 number divide by 7 3 , so the factoring of 1000! will have 7 1 6 2 . Also we could easily see that 2 1 6 2 ∣ 1 0 0 0 ! , so we have k = 1 6 2
