How many 5 digit number can be formed out of digits 0,2,4,6,8 that is divisible
by 8.
1. 26 2. 30
3. 38 4. 96
ans -30
For a number to be divisible by 8, its last three digits must divisible by 8.
So, last three digits can be from the following group
(024), (048), (064), (208), (240), (248), (264), (280), (408), (480), (608), (62
4), (640), (648), (680), (824), (840), (864),
There are 18 such groups.
Consider these 12 groups in which zero is there
(024), (048), (064), (208), (240), (280), (408), (480), (608), (640), (680), (84
0)
With each of these 12 groups, first digit can be any of the remaining 2 digits a
nd second digit can be the remaining one digit
Therefore, 122 = 24 such numbers
Consider the 6 groups in which zero does not come
(248), (264), (624), (648), (824), (864),
With each of these 6 groups, first digit can be the one remaining digit(because
zero cannot be the first digit)
Second digit can be zero
Therefore, 61 = 6 such numbers
Therefore, total count of 5 digit numbers = 24 + 6 = 30
So, Ans is 30

N = 99^3 36^3 63^3
N = 99^3 + ( 36) ^3 + ( 63) ^3
N = 3 x 99 x 36 x 63 [if a + b + c = 0, then a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = 3abc]
N = 2^2 x 3^7 x 7 x 11
Number of factors of N = (2 + 1) (7 + 1) (1 + 1) (1 + 1) = 96

7^12 + 7^13 + 7^14 + 7^15 = 7^12 (1 + 7 + 49 + 343)
= 7^12 x 400
= 7^12 x 2^4 x 5^2
Number of factors:
(12 + 1) (4 + 1) (2 + 1) = 195

CONCEPT : Wilson s Theorem
According to the Wilson s Theorem, If there is any Prime Number p, (p-1) ! When di
vided by p will always yield (p-1) as the remainder
Example:
36! Mod 37 can be expressed as: (37-1)! Mod 37 where p=37. Hence 36! Mod 37 =p-1
= 36
12! Mod 13 = 13-1 = 12
For any prime number p, When (p-2)! Is divided by p , the remainder yield is alw
ays equal to 1.
This can be illustrated using a very simple example. Let us take 9! Mod 11
Multiply 10 in both numerator and denominator, hence now we need to find our rem
ainder for 9!*10/ 10*11.
9!*10 is nothing but 10!. So, our expression becomes 10!/10*11.
Using Wilson Theorem, we can say (p-1)! Mod p = (p-1) where p is a prime number
.
Hence 10! Mod 11 = 10. So now our expression becomes 1*10/10 = 1. Hence the rema
inder in this case is always 1 .
--------------------------------------------
Q.How many 2 digit possible numbers are possible if the digits when interchanged
, The absolute difference between the two 2-digit numbers is 63 ?
Let the number be N. N = 10a+b
Reversing N we get N = 10b+a
Difference between them = 10a+b (10b+a)= 9(a-b)
As said earlier, difference between the two numbers = 63
Hence 9(a-b) = 63
a-b = 7
Possibilities:
a=b=0 not possible, since both of them are said to be 2 digit.
A= 8, b=1
A=9, b=2
And their reverse numbers as well
Hence 4 such numbers possible.

----------------------------------
Finding the unit digit
The Concept of unit digit of a number is as important as any theory of Permutati
on Combination. The application of unit digit is enormous. We can use the concep
t of unit digit solve sums in seconds that would have taken us minutes working i
n the traditional approaches. So today we will go through all these concepts.
Cyclicity of 2 : 2^1 = 2 , 2^2 = 4, 2^3 = 8, 2^4 =16 , 2^5 = 32
So we can see that for every 4 set of exponents starting from 1, the unit digit
of 2^n remains same. Hence We will call it as cycle order =4 (After every 4 term
s, the unit digit is repeated)
Example : What is the unit digit of 2^73
Solution : Find 73 mod 4 (Because cyclicity of 2 = 4) 73mod 4 =1. Hence 2^73 s un
it digit will be same as 2^1 = 2
Cyclicity of 3 : 3^1 =3; 3^2 = 9; 3^3 = 27 ; 3^4 = 81 ; 3^5= 243 . Hence again,
after 4 terms starting from 1, the unit digit of powers of 3 get repeated. Hence
the cycle order for 3 = 4
Cyclicity of 4 : 4^ odd always ends with 4 / 4^even always ends with 6 => Hence
the cycle order of 4 = 2
For 5 and 6, 5^a and 6^b : where a and b are positive integers, both will end in
5 and 6 respectively.
Similarly we can find the cyclicity of other numbers

Q. Find the highest power of 2 in 100!
Solution :-
[100/2]+[100/2^2]+[100/2^3]+[100/2^4]+[100/2^5]+[100/2^6]
= 50+25+12+6+3+1
=97.
Q. Find highest power of 3 in 200!
Solution :-
[200/3]+[200/3^2]+[200/3^3]+[200/3^4]
= 66+22+7+2
=97.
Q. Find the highest power of 30 in 50!
Solution :-
30 = 2 x 3 x 5.
5 is largest prime factor of 30.
[50/5]+[50/5^2]
= 10+2 = 12.
Q. Find the least number which highest power of 7 is 52.
Solution :-
We know highest power comes by this formula.
Highest power = [n/p]+[n/p^2]+[n/p^3] ..
52 = [n/7] + [n/7^2] + [n/7^3]
The only things strike in our mind to split 52.
1+7+49 (not equal to 52)
6+42 (not equal)
7+49 (not equal)
6+42 < 52 < 7+49
6+43 < 52
6+46 = 52.
[n/7] = 46
n > 7 x 46.
n > 322.
[n/49] = 6.
n > 49 x 6.
n > 294.
For least possible number n = 322.
Q. Find the least number which highest power of 13 is 52.
Solution :-
52 = [n / 13] + [n / 13^2]
52 = [ n / 13 ] + [ n / 169 ]
Let s think , how 52 can be split.
3 + 39 < 52 < 4 + 52
3+49 = 52.
[ n / 13 ] = 49.
n > 13 x 49
n > 637.
[ n / 169 ] = 3
n = 169 x 3
n > 507.
For least value, n = 637.
Q. Find highest power of 72 in 100!
Solution :-
72 = 2^3 x 3^2.
Highest power of 2 = [100/2] + [100/2^2] + [100/2^3] + [100/2^4] + [100/2^5] + [
100/2^6]
= 50 + 25 + 12 + 6 + 3 + 1
= 97.
But power of 2 is 3 here, so 97/3 = 32.
Highest power of 3 = [100/3] + [100/3^2] + [100/3^3] + [ 100/3^4]
= 33 + 11 + 3 + 1
= 48.
But power of 3 is 2 here, so 48/2 = 24.
24 < 32.
Power of 72 in 100! Is 24.
Q. Find the total no of divisors of 17!
Solution :-
Prime factors are 2,3,5,7,11,13,17.
Highest power of 2 =[17/2] + [ 17/2^2] + [ 17/2^3] + [17/2^4]
8+4+2+1 = 17.
Highest power of 3 = [17/3] + [17/3^2]
5+1 = 6.
Highest power of 5 = [17/5] + [17/5^2] = 3.
Highest power of 7 = [17/7] + [17/7^2] = 2.
Highest power of 11 = [17/11] = 1.
Highest power of 13 = [17/13] = 1.
Highest power of 17 = [17/17] = 1.
17! = 2^17 x 3^6 x 5^3 x 7^2 x 11 x 13 x 17
Factors = (17+1)(6+1)(3+1)(2+1)(1+1)(1+1)(1+1)
= 18 x 7 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 2 x 2
= 126 x 96
= 12096.

#CONCEPT
[ No of zeroes at the end of n! ]
No of zeroes means no of 10 s.
10 = 2 x 5.
Basic formula
No of zeroes = [ n / 5 ] + [ n / 5^2 ] + [ n / 5^3 ]
---------------------------
Q. Find the number of zeroes at the end of 250!
Solution :-
[ 250 / 5 ] + [ 250 / 5^2 ] + [ 250 / 5^3 ]
= 50 + 10 + 2
= 62.
Q. Find the no of zeroes at the end of 100 x 99^2 x 98^3 x 97^4 ... 1^100.
Solution :-
100 x 99^2 x 98^3 ... 1^100
= (100 x 99 x 98 ... 1) x (99 x 98 x 97... 1) x (98 x 97 x 96 ... 1) ... 1
= 100! x 99! x 98! x 97! ... 1!
= 1! x 2! ... 100!
1! to 4! = 0.
5! to 9! = 1 x 5 = 5.
10! to 14! = 2 x 5 = 10.
15! to 19! = 3 x 5 = 15.
20! to 24! = 4 x 5 = 20.
1! to 24! = 5(0+1+2+3+4) = 50.
25! To 49! = 5(6+7+8+9+10) = 200.
50! to 74! = 5(12+13+14+15+16)=350.
75! to 99! = 5(18+19+20+21+22)=500.
100! = 24.
Total = 50 + 200 + 350 + 500 + 24 = 1124.
Q. Find no of zeroes at the end of 250 x 255 x 260 .750.
Solution :-
5^101 (50 x 51 x 52 150)
= 5^101 (150 !) / (49! )
No of 5 s in 150! = [150 / 5] + [ 150 / 5^2 ] + [ 150 / 5^3 ]
= 30 + 6 + 1 = 37.
Total no of 5 s in numerator = 101 + 37 = 138.
No of 2 s in 150!
= [150 / 2] + [150 /2^2 ] + [ 150 /2^3 ] + [ 150/2^4 ] + [ 150 / 2^5 ] + [ 150 /
2^6 ] + [150 / 2^7]
= 75 + 37 + 18 + 9 + 4 + 2 + 1
= 146.
No of 2 s > No of 5 s
Hence no of zeroes at numerator = no of 5 s = 137.
Number of zeroes at denominator = [ 49 / 5 ] + [ 49 / 5^2 ]
= 9 + 1
= 10.
Total no of zeroes = 137 10 = 127.
Q. For any value of k, k! has n zeroes at the end and (k+2)! has n+2 zeroes at t
he end. How many number of possible values of k if 0 < k < 200.
Solution :-
We know no of zeroes increases by 2 only when no is in form of 25n+1.
K+2 = 25n+1.
K+2 = 26,51,76,101,126,151,176,201.
But for 125, no of zeroes increase by 3.
So we need to remove 126.
k+2 = 26,51,76,101,151,176,201
k = 24,49,74,99,149,174,199.
Total possible values = 7.
Q. k! has n number of zeroes at the end and (k+1)! has (n+3) zeroes at the end.
Find the number of possible values of n if 100 < k < 1000.
Solution :-
We know for multiple of 5(5^1), no of zeroes increase by 1.
For multiple of 25(5^2), no of zeroes increase by 2.
For multiple of 125(5^3), no of zeroes increase by 3.
It means k+1 = 125 a.
k+1 = 125,250,375,500,625,750,875,1000.
But 625(5^4), no of zeroes increase by 4.
So k+1 = 125,250,375,500,750,875,1000.
Total values of k = 7.
Q. Find the highest power of 2 in 128! + 129! + 130! ... 200!
Solution :-
128! (1 + 129 + 129 x 128 + 129 x 130 x 131 + 129 x 130 x 131 x 132 + 129 x 200 )
= 128! ( 130 + 129 x 128 + 129 x 130 x 131 + 129 x 130 x 131 x 132 ..)
= 128! x 2 ( 65 + 129 x 64 + 129 x 65 x 131 + 129 x 65 x 131 x 132 ..)
= 128! x 2 ( 65 + even + odd + odd .)
= 128! x 2 ( odd + odd + odd )
No of 2 s in 128! = [ 128 / 2 ] + [ 128 / 2^2] + [ 128 / 2^3 ] + [ 128 / 2^4 ] + [
128 / 2^5 ] + [ 128 / 2^6 ] + [ 128/ 2^7]
= 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1
= 127.
But there is one more 2.
So total no of zeroes = 127 + 1 = 128.

# CONCEPT
[ To find the non zero digit from right ]
If we have to find first non zero digit from right in any number n!
=>> n = 5 * m + k.
Then 2^m * m! * k! .
--------------------
Q. Find the first non zero digit of 26! .
Solution :-
26 = 5 x 5 + 1.
n = 26, m = 5, k=1.
First non zero digit = 2^5 x 5! X 1!
= 32 x 120 x 1
= 3840.
4 is first non zero digit here.
But any no n is as large that it can be written as
n = 25 x m + k.
Then first non zero digit = 4^m x m! x k!
Q. Find the first non zero digit of 97! .
Solution :-
97 = 25 x 3 + 22.
First non zero digit = 4^3 x 3! x 22!
22! = 5 x 4 + 2.
First non zero digit = 2^4 x 4! x 2!
= 16 x 24 x 2
=8 (first digit from right).
First non zero digit of 97 = 4^3 x 3! x 8
= 4 x 6 x 8
= 2.
Although it can be solved in another way.
97 = 5 x 19 + 2.
Digit = 2^19 x 19! x 2!
19 = 5 x 3 + 4.
Digit = 2^3 x 3! x 4! = 2.
Digit of 97! = 2^19 x 2 x 2
= 8 x 2 x 2
= 2.
Similarly, if n = 125 x m + k.
Then first non zero digit = 8^m x m! x k!
Q. Find the first non zero digit of 377! .
Solution :-
477 = 125 x 3 + 2.
First non zero digit = 8^3 x 3! x 2! = 2 x 6 x 2 = 4.
Another way :-
377 = 25 x 15 + 2.
Digit = 4^15 x 15! x 2! .
15! = 3 x 5.
Digit = 2^3 x 3! = 8.
Digit of 377! = 4^15 x 8 x 2 =4.
