The expression can be rewritten as: 2 4 ! 5 0 ! , where ! denotes factorial.
Since zero is just a power of 10, we can count fives (in this expression there are more twos than fives).
Counting zeros of 5 0 ! we have: ⌊ 5 5 0 ⌋ + ⌊ 2 5 5 0 ⌋ = 1 0 + 2 = 1 2 .
Counting zeros of 2 4 ! we have: ⌊ 5 2 4 ⌋ = 4
The fraction can be rewritten again as b ⋅ 1 0 4 a ⋅ 1 0 1 2 = b a ⋅ 1 0 8 where a and b are some natural numbers (in other words - factorials without any powers of five and some powers of two).
Since b divides a , the number of zeros is 8 .
