find the unit digit of the sum of the factorials of the first 100 natural numbers pls find it
Answers
♦ First of all we should know what is meant by factorial ?
→ Factorial means the consecutive product of given "n" natural numbers .
And it is represented by n!
By taking example to understand it clearly .
8! = ??
From the definition from above we will write
8! = 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1
= 40320
♦ Now coming back to the question
We have to find out the sum of unit digits of factorials of first 100 natural numbers .
So first we will find out the factorials.
1! = 1
2! = 2
3! = 6
4! = 24
5! = 120
6! = 720
......
♦ We can clearly see that after 4! on the unit place we are getting "0"
As sum of n(0) = 0
Hence the sum of unit digits of first 100 factorials of Natural Numbers
Sum of Unit digits of 1! , 2! , 3! and 4!
= 1 , 2 , 6 , 4
= 1 + 2 + 6 + 4
= 3 + 10
= 13
Hence sum of unit digits of factorials of first 100 natural numbers = 13 .
Step-by-step explanation:
After 4! Unit digit is 0
1+2+6+4=13
