Trailing zeros

Trailing zeros are the consecutive zeros at the end. 1000000 has 6. 10200 has 2.

Trailing zeros in n!

Each trailing zero needs a factor of 10 = 2×5. Since there are always more 2s than 5s, count fives: ⌊n/5⌋ + ⌊n/25⌋ + ⌊n/125⌋ + ...

100! has ⌊100/5⌋ + ⌊100/25⌋ = 20 + 4 = 24 trailing zeros.
