5,10,15,20 will create four zeroes ; 25 will create 2 zeroes

Very good. It is realy smart to ignore the power of 2 in 25! as it would alwaz be greater than that of 5.So, calclating it will give power of ten.Thnx.

Power of 2 in 25! is |25/2|+|25/2^2|+|25/2^3|+|25/2^4|=22. Power of 5 in 25! is |25/5|+|25/5^5|=6. Power of 10 in 25! is 6.

So number of 0s at the end will be 6. frgt to add dat.

Here is my solution: Look quickly into this multiplication: If numbers end with 5 multiplies with even numbers: 2, 4, 6, 8: The answer will have zeroes at the end.

So we have 2 × 4 × 6 × 8 × 5 = 1920 2\times 4\times 6\times 8\times 5=1920 ; 12 × 14 × 16 × 18 × 15 = 725760 12\times 14\times 16\times 18\times 15=725760 ; 22 × 24 × 25 = 13200 22\times 24\times 25=13200 . So we have 4 \boxed { 4 } zeroes here!

But number 10 and 20 will add 2 \boxed { 2 } more zeroes to the value of this multiplication.

So, the total zeroes at the end of the value of 25! are: 4 + 2 = 6 4+2=\boxed { 6 } !

And the correct answer is 6 !

For every trailing zero, x! Must be divided by five, twenty five and sub. Power of 5. So 25÷5 = 5 25÷25 = 1 So there are 5+1=6 trailing zeros of 25!
