D​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/4 or 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

since, 105/12k=integer then the value of k must be .25

Answer 2

The max value of k is 50

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for n!, and a given prime number p, the highest power of p in n! is given by

$\boxed{[\frac{n}{p}]+[\frac{n}{p^2}]+[\frac{n}{p^3}]+.....}$

Where [ ] is the greatest integer function

In the given question

$\frac{105!}{12^k}$

$=\frac{105!}{(3\times 2^2)^k}$

$=\frac{105!}{3^k\times 2^{2k}}$

Power of 3 in 105!

$=[\frac{105}{3}]+[\frac{105}{3^2}]+[\frac{105}{3^3}]+[\frac{105}{3^4}+[\frac{105}{3^5}+...$

$=[35]+[11.67]+[3.89]+[1.3]+[0.43]$

$=35+11+3+1+0$

$=50$

Power of 2 in 105!

$=[\frac{105}{2}]+[\frac{105}{2^2}]+[\frac{105}{2^3}]+[\frac{105}{2^4}+[\frac{105}{2^5}+\frac{105}{2^6}+\frac{105}{2^7}+...$

$=[52.5]+[26.25]+[13.125]+[6.5625]+[3.28125]+[1.640625]+[0.8203125]$

$=52+26+13+6+3+1+0$

$=101$

Thus, if we take $k=50$, $\frac{105!}{12^k}$ will be an integer

Hope this answer is helpful.
