Hey there guys, I was recently surfing the net and read about this question which I was kind of stuck with.
The question was:
Find all prime numbers which divide 50!
To people who doesn't know what the " ! " means, it actually means factorial so the definition of 50! is 50 x 49 x 48 x 47 ... x 3 x 2 x 1. As you can see 50! is a very big number so I assume there'll be loads of prime numbers which can divide 50!. However I started off with a very simple step and that is to find all the prime numbers below 50 first. This is because since 50! is 50 x 49 x 48 .... x 3 x 2 x 1, that would mean that all the prime numbers below 50 would be divisible by 50!. That is my starting steps of this question and I'm stil trying to think of a way to find the rest.
The prime numbers below 50 which can divide 50!
