How many zeros are there in the product 1^{50}\times2^{49}\times3^{48}\times...\times50^{1}?
- A. 262 ✓
- B. 261
- C. 246
- D. 235
Correct Answer: A. 262
Explanation
Trailing zeros depend on the power of 5. The sum of exponents of multiples of 5 is \sum_{k=1}^{10} (51 - 5k) = 235. Multiples of 25 (25, 50) contribute an extra 26 + 1 = 27. Total powers of 5 = 235 + 27 = 262.
