    The document is answering the question of finding the number of possible integral values of k so that k! ends in 5 zeroes. It explains that the number of zeroes in n! is equal to the minimum number of 5s and 2s in the factorial. It then analyzes 20! and 25! to find they have 4 and 6 zeroes respectively, but not 5 zeroes. Therefore, the number of possible integral values of k is 0.

    Question: Find the number of possible integral values of k so that k! ends in 5 zeroes.

    Code: F3110

    2m 5n
    Answer: As we know that number of zeroes in a number of the form
    is min(m,n).
    k! = 1.2.3.4.5.....(n-1).n
    The number of 5s in !20 is 4 and number of 2s in !20 is more than 4. So the number of zeroes in the
    end of 25! is 4.
    And the number of 5s in !25 is 6 and number of 2s in !25 is more than 6. So the number of zeroes in
    the end of 25! is 6.
    So, No integral value of k is possible for which k! ends in 5 zeroes.
