Finding trailing zeros of a factorial JavaScript
Given an integer n, we have to write a function that returns the number of trailing zeroes in n!.
For example −
trailingZeroes(4) = 0 trailingZeroes(5) = 1 because 5! = 120 trailingZeroes(6) = 1
Example
const num = 17;
const findTrailingZeroes = num => {
let cur = 5, total = 0;
while (cur <= num) {
total += Math.floor(num / cur);
cur *= 5;
};
return total;
};
console.log(findTrailingZeroes(num));
console.log(findTrailingZeroes(5));
console.log(findTrailingZeroes(1));
Output
And the output in the console will be −
3 1 0
