Given:

Find the number of consecutive zeroes at the end of 572!.

Formula used:

The number of trailing zeroes in n! is given by:

Trailing Zeroes = ⌊n/5⌋ + ⌊n/52⌋ + ⌊n/53⌋ + ...

Continue until ⌊n/5k⌋ = 0.

Calculation:

n = 572

⇒ Trailing Zeroes = ⌊572/5⌋ + ⌊572/25⌋ + ⌊572/125⌋ + ⌊572/625⌋

⇒ Trailing Zeroes = ⌊114.4⌋ + ⌊22.88⌋ + ⌊4.576⌋ + ⌊0.9152⌋

⇒ Trailing Zeroes = 114 + 22 + 4 + 0

⇒ Trailing Zeroes = 140

∴ The correct answer is option (1).
