Hi, i think that 25 could not be a factor of 20! because it is 5*5 but we have just one 5, am i right?
No.. we have four 5 in 20! as 20! = 1*2*3*4*5*6..*10*11*...15*16..*20, so one five comes from each of 5, 10, 15 and 20. so \(5^4\)
Which of the following is NOT a factor of 20! ?
A. 17.......\(20!=1*2*.....17*...20\).. YES
B. 21=3*7.......\(20!=1*2*3.....7*...20\).. YES
C. 25=5*5.......\(20!=1*2*...*5*..10*.....*15*....20\).. YES
D. 29.... since 29 is a PRIME number and 20! contains number only till 20, 29 will NOT be there in 20!
E. 42=2*3*7.......\(20!=1*2*3*.....7*...20\).. YES
F. 51=3*17.......\(20!=1*2*3.....17*...20\).. YES
G. 85=5*17.......\(20!=1*2*3*4*5*.....17*...20\).. YES
H. 121=11*11...........\(20!=1*2*.....11*...20\).. NO, as we have only one 11.
so D and H
