COMMENT

Given b, the number of trailing zeros at the end of the base-b representation of x! is asymptotic to x/M where M is the maximum over p|b of (p-1)*v_p(b).

Usually only one prime p attains the maximum, and then the number is v_p(x!)/v_p(b) for all but finitely many x.

But for b=12,45,80,90,..., at least two v_p(x!) must be computed. For example: if b=12 then for x=2006 there are 998 trailing zeros due to v_3 but for x=2007 there are 999 due to v_2.

EXAMPLE

Example: for b=90 we have (p-1)*v_p(b) = 1, 4, 4 for p = 2, 3, 5 respectively so the maximum of 4 is attained twice (p=3 and p=5).

PROGRAM

(PARI) { F(n, f, p, v, vmax)= f=factor(n); p=f[, 1]; v=vector(length(p), i, f[i, 2]*(p[i]-1)); vmax=vecmax(v); sum(i=1, length(v), v[i]==vmax) } for(n=1, 6400, if(F(n)>1, print(n)))
