What will be the remainder when 1!+2!+3!+4!+5!.........up to infinity is divided by 5.
Read Solution (Total 6)
-
- 1!+2!+3!+4!+5!.........up to infinity / 5
from 5! onwards, each term upto infinity is divisible by 5
so, 1!+2!+3!+4! / 5 gives the reqd remainder
=> 1+2+6+24 / 5
=> 33/5
=> rem = 3 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(63) No(0)
- sum= 1!+2!+3!+4!+5p, where p is constant
sum= 33+5p
sum= 3+5(p+6)
when divided by 5 leaves remainder 3 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(2)
- FROM 5! EVERY NO WILL CONTAIN A MULTIPLE OF 5 SO EACH AND EVERY NO FROM 5! WILL BE COMPLETELY DIVISIBLE BY 5 NOW ADD UP THE NOS 1!+2!+3!+4!=33 SO 5 DIVIDED BY 33 GIVES REMAINDER AS 3.

- Every term is divisible by 5 upto infinity after 4! because every factorial term after 4! have 5.
so from (5!+6!+7!... to infinity divisible by 5)
so rem is (1!+2!+3!+4!)/5=33/5
=3(ANSWER) - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
