Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 10

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, \(15=3 \times 5\), so to find the exponent of 15 in 47 ! It is enough to find the exponent of 5 in 47 !. So, exponent of 5 in 47 !. \(=\left[\frac{47}{5}\right]+\left[\frac{47}{5^2}\right]+\ldots,\{\) where, \([x]\) is greatest integer of \(x]\). \[ =9+1 \] So, required…
