The ZERO comes from 10. * 2. The 10 comes from 2 x 5 * 3. And we need to account for all the products of 5 and 2. likes 4×5 = 20 ... * 4. So, if we take all the numbers with 5 as a factor, we'll have way more than enough even numbers * to pair with them to get factors of 10 * * **Example One** * * How many multiples of 5 are between 1 and 23? * There is 5, 10, 15, and 20, for four multiples of 5. Paired with 2's from the even factors, * this makes for four factors of 10, so: **23! has 4 zeros**. * * * **Example Two** * * How many multiples of 5 are there in the numbers from 1 to 100? * * because 100 ÷ 5 = 20, so, there are twenty multiples of 5 between 1 and 100. * * but wait, actually 25 is 5×5, so each multiple of 25 has an extra factor of 5, * ( e.g. 25 × 4 = 100,which introduces extra of zero ) * * So, we need know how many multiples of 25 are between 1 and 100? Since 100 ÷ 25 = 4, * (there are four multiples of 25 between 1 and 100) * * Finally, we get 20 + 4 = 24 trailing zeroes in 100! * * * The above example tell us, we need care about 5, 5×5, 5×5×5, 5×5×5×5 .... * * **Example Three** * * * 5^1 : 4617 ÷ 5 = 923.4, so we get 923 factors of 5 * 5^2 : 4617 ÷ 25 = 184.68, so we get 184 additional factors of 5 * 5^3 : 4617 ÷ 125 = 36.936, so we get 36 additional factors of 5 * 5^4 : 4617 ÷ 625 = 7.3872, so we get 7 additional factors of 5 * 5^5 : 4617 ÷ 3125 = 1.47744, so we get 1 more factor of 5 * 5^6 : 4617 ÷ 15625 = 0.295488, which is less than 1, so stop here. * * Then 4617! has 923 + 184 + 36 + 7 + 1 = 1151 trailing zeroes. * */ class Solution { public: int trailingZeroes(int n) { int result = 0; //To avoid the integer overflow ( e.g. 'n >=1808548329' ) for(long long i=5; n/i>0 && i <= INT_MAX; i*=5){ result += (n/i); } return result; } // Alternative implementation which naturally avoid integer overflow issue. int trailingZeroes(int n) { int sum=0; int tmp=0; while(n/5>0) { tmp=n/5; sum+=tmp; n=tmp; } return sum; } };
