    Divisibility
In summary, the formula for calculating the sum of factorials from 1 to 100 is (1! + 2! + 3! + ... + 100!). A number is divisible by 5 if its last digit is either 0 or 5. The sum of factorials from 1 to 100 is important in this problem because it is the base of the divisibility test. If it is not divisible by 5, then the entire expression (1!+2!+3!+...+100!)^2 will not be divisible by 5. There is a specific method for determining the divisibility of an expression raised to a power, where we use the divisibility rules for 5. If

1.The remainder when dividing (1!+2!+3!+...+100!)^2 by 5 is?
5 divides evenly into 5!, 6!, 7!, ..., 100!. It would also divide evenly into things like 2!*8! or 20!*83!, but not 4!*3!
but whether then ^2 affects the rest?
And what is answer?Thanks

You have to show some type of attempt. We can't provide the answer, but we can guide you to the answer.
 

FAQ: Divisibility of (1!+2!+3!+...+100!)^2 by 5

1. What is the divisibility rule for 5?

The divisibility rule for 5 states that a number is divisible by 5 if its last digit is either 0 or 5.

2. How can we determine if (1!+2!+3!+...+100!)^2 is divisible by 5?

We can determine if (1!+2!+3!+...+100!)^2 is divisible by 5 by checking if the sum of the factorials of the numbers from 1 to 100 is divisible by 5. If it is, then the square of that sum will also be divisible by 5.

3. Can (1!+2!+3!+...+100!)^2 be divisible by 5 if the sum of the factorials is not divisible by 5?

No, if the sum of the factorials of the numbers from 1 to 100 is not divisible by 5, then the square of that sum will also not be divisible by 5.

4. What is the sum of the factorials of the numbers from 1 to 100?

The sum of the factorials of the numbers from 1 to 100 is 1!+2!+3!+...+100! = 44,899,027,554,640,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
