To determine how many consecutive zeros the product of S will end with, we need to find the highest power of 10 that divides the product. This is equivalent to finding the highest power of 5 that divides the product, since the number of factors of 2 will always be greater than the number of factors of 5.

The primes in S are {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97}.

There are 24 primes in S, so the product of S is:

2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 11 x 13 x 17 x 19 x 23 x 29 x 31 x 37 x 41 x 43 x 47 x 53 x 59 x 61 x 67 x 71 x 73 x 79 x 83 x 89 x 97

We need to find the highest power of 5 that divides this product. To do this, we count the number of factors of 5 in the prime factorization of each number in S.

5 appears once: 5
5 appears once: 25
5 appears once: 35
5 appears once: 55
5 appears once: 65
5 appears once: 85
So, there are six factors of 5 in the product of S. However, we also need to consider the powers of 5 that arise from the factors 25, 35, 55, and 65.

25 = 5 x 5 appears once: 25
35 = 5 x 7 appears once: 35
55 = 5 x 11 appears once: 55
65 = 5 x 13 appears once: 65
Each of these numbers contributes an additional factor of 5 to the product of S. Therefore, there are 6 + 4 = 10 factors of 5 in the product of S.

Since each factor of 5 corresponds to a factor of 10, we know that the product of S will end with 10 zeros. Therefore, the product of S will end with 10 consecutive zeros

Ques:- How many such pairs of letters are there in the word STAINLESS each of which has as many letters between them in the word as they have in the English alphabet, in the same sequence?

Dear friends i ofcourse confused like you when i come
across to solve this problem. Really friends its very
simple if you understand the question clearly. First thing
is what is mean by “as many as” means its called ‘idiom and
phrase’ in english and it means “the same number of”. now
read the question “how many pairs of letters in STAINLESS
which has same number of letters between them in the word
as they have in english alphabet”.
In the alphabetical order, A-Z can be numbered as 1-26.
In A(INL)E which is same as in the alphabetical order A
(BCD)E. In both the cases E is in the Fourth position. so
we got one pair.
And in ST, there are no letters between them in the word
stainless. In alphabetical orer from A-Z also there is no
letters between them..so we got the second pair…
In STAINLESS it has two pairs ST and AE

Ques:- Number Series 7,16,9,15,11,14,?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:01:30:

First nos series is 7,9,11,?
ie odd number siries ie 7,9,11,13
Second number series is 16,15,14
ie 1 less the previous number 16,15,14,13
Ans —-series is 7,16,9,15,11,14,13,13

Ques:- The G.C.D. of two whole numbers is 5 and their LCM is 60. If one of the number is 20, then the other number would be
A. 13
B. 15
C. 16
D. 25
Recent Answer : Added by Shravani Annameni On 2022-08-14 16:33:23:

G.c.d=num1 *num2/lcm
Num1=20
Gcd=5
Lcm=60
5=(20*num2)/60
Num2= 5*60/20
Num2=15

Ques:- Find the missing number of the series 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, ..
Recent Answer : Added by Vishnu Das On 2021-10-13 14:55:31:

Answer is 16
1,2,4,7,11,….
1+(1) =2
2+(2) =4
4+(3) =7
7+(4) =11
Therefore
11+(5) =16

Ques:- A computer printer produces 176400 lines in a given day. If the printer is in operation for 7 hrs during the day how many lines did it print per minute?
Recent Answer : Added by Alex On 2022-04-02 06:58:03:

I think speed of printing per minute has nothing do to with how long printer being at work.

If “given day” = 8 hours.
8h = 480m

x = 176400 / 480 = 367.5 lines per minute.
