Product of r consecutive integers is divisible by r! [duplicate]

Well in a book i am reading it is given that you can also prove this by showing that Every prime factor is contained in $(n+r)!$ as often at least as it is contained in $n!r!$. How does this prove ...

The number of primes in the factorization of $N!$

Is there an approximation to the number of primes in the factorization of $N!$? For example: For $N=10$, this number is $15$. For $N=100$, this number is $239$. For $N=1000$, this number is $2877$. ...

Factoring added factorials

How do I facilitate prime factorization without brute-forcing the 600+ digit number? For example, how would I factor (82! + 83! + 84!) ?

Factorials and Prime Factors

I need to write a program to input a number and output it's factorial in the form: $4!=(2^3)(3^1)$ $5!=(2^3)(3^1)(5^1)$ I'm now having trouble trying to figure out how could I take a number and get ...

Show that there is no natural number $n$ such that $3^7$ is the largest power of $3$ dividing $n!$

Show that there is no natural number $n$ such that $7$ is the largest power $a$ of $3$ for which $3^a$ divides $n!$ After doing some research, I could not understand how to start or what to do to ...

If $N$ is a multiple of $100$, $N!$ ends with $\left(\frac{N}4-1 \right)$ zeroes.

Did certain questions about factorials, and one of them got a reply very interesting that someone told me that it is possible to show that If $N$ is a multiple of $100$, $N!$ ends with $\left(\frac{...

Find the smallest value of $n$ so that the greater potency of $5$ which divides $n!$ is $5^{84}$. What are the other numbers that enjoy this property?

Find the smallest value of $n$ so that the greater potency of $5$ which divides $n!$ is $5^{84}$. What are the other numbers that enjoy this property? I thought I would put together an equation of ...

Find the greatest power of $104$ which divides $10000!$

Find the greatest power of $104$ which divides $10000!$ I thought $$104=2^3\cdot13$$ so I have to find $n$ such that $$(2^3\cdot13)^n\mid 10000!$$ Obviously, we can see that there are fewer factors $...

Find the prime factor decomposition of $100!$ and determine how many zeros terminates the representation of that number. [duplicate]

Find the prime factor decomposition of $100!$ and determine how many zeros terminates the representation of that number. Actually, I know a way to solve this, but even if it is very large and ...
