Question #2c645 Algebra Expressions, Equations, and Functions Variable Expressions 1 Answer Cesareo R. Jan 3, 2017 #n=637# Explanation: We know that #5^5=3125 > 2557# so the number of trailing zeroes is given by #n=sum_(k=1)^4 floor(2557/5^k) = 511+102+20+4=637# which is the number of #5# factors appearing in #2557# Those #5# multiplied by the #2# factors are responsible by the trailing zeroes.
