I have been trying to work through the following exercise:
Find the power of $5$ in the prime factorization of $2020!$.
So far I have worked out that the prime factorization of $2020$ is $2^2 \cdot 5^1 \cdot 101^1$, however I am not sure if this is useful or not!
It may also be useful to note that this is an example from a number theory course and so I believe there should be a methodical process to find the answer, however I have been unsuccessful so far!
I have pondered whether maybe I could use the fact that $5^4$ is the highest power of $5$ that is less than $2020$.
