Trailing zeros in 500 factorial = 124
Quick Answer:
124 trailing zeros in 500!
Legendre's Formula: Count factors of 5 in 500!
⌊500/5⌋ = 100 + ⌊500/25⌋ = 20 + ⌊500/125⌋ = 4 = 124

What is factorial?
Definition of factorial
The factorial is a quantity defined for any integer n greater than or equal to 0.
The factorial is the product of all integers less than or equal to n but greater than or equal to 1. The factorial value of 0 is, by definition, equal to 1. For negative integers, factorials are not defined. The factorial can be seen as the result of multiplying a sequence of descending natural numbers (such as 3 × 2 × 1).
The factorial symbol is the exclamation mark (!).
The factorial formula
If n is a natural number greater than or equal to 1, then
n! = n x (n - 1) x (n - 2) x (n - 3) ... 3 x 2 x 1
If n = 0, then n! = 1, by convention.
Example: 6! = 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 720
Shortcut to find trailing zeros in a factorial
Trailing zeros are a sequence of zeros in the decimal representation of a number, after which no other digits follow. This video shows how to find the trailing zeros of a factorial easily.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many trailing zeros are in 500 factorial?
There are 124 trailing zeros in 500!. This is calculated using Legendre's formula: count how many times 5 divides into 500, then 25, then 125, and so on, adding up all the quotients.
What is Legendre's formula?
Legendre's formula calculates the number of trailing zeros in n! by summing ⌊n/5⌋ + ⌊n/25⌋ + ⌊n/125⌋ + ... until the quotient becomes 0. Each trailing zero comes from a factor of 10, which requires one factor of 2 and one factor of 5.
