Finding the number of trailing zeroes in the factorial of a number has a sequence of 3-4 steps which applies for all number. I will list it down for reference

step 1: Divide the given number by 5, the answer will give you the number of multiples. If it gives you a decimal answer, you can just take the whole number

Step 2: Divide the given number with the next power of 5, that is 25( 5 times 5) , find the number of multiples

Step 3: Divide the given number with the next power of 5, that is 125 (5 times 5 times 5) , find the number of multiples

Step 4:Keep doing this with increasing powers of 5 till the given number becomes lesser than the power of 5

Step 5: Now add all the number of multiples you got at each step

This will give you the number of trailing zeroes for the given number

Let's do this process for the given number 1000

Divide by 5

1000÷5 = 200 multiples

1000 ÷25 = 40 multiples (5² = 25)

1000÷125 = 8 multiples (5³=125)

1000÷ 625 = 1.69.... we take only the whole number so 1 multiple

now the next power is 3125 which cannot divide 1000 so we can stop this process

now add all the multiples

200+40+8+1 = 249

So the factorial of 1000 has 249 trailing zeroes

What is the solution to the equation PLS
brilliants [131]

Answer:

x=2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

the first thing you want to do is simplify like terms.

you could say this is as 4(x+7)=38

this can easily be solved algebraically.

first use distributive property on the four

this leaves you with 4x+28=38

next, subtract 28 from both sides

4x=10

now divide everything by four and you get x=2.5

Find the equation of a line that passes through (2,8) and is parallel to the graph of y=2x+6. Write the equation in slope-interc
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The equation of a parallel line would be y = 2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation of this line, we first have to note that paralell lines have same slopes. Therefore, since the original line has a slope of 2, we know the new line will have a slope of 2. Now we can use that information along with the given point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 8 = 2(x - 2)

y - 8 = 2x - 4

y = 2x + 4
