Problem 46054. Count trailing zeros in a primorial
Cody Problem 44068 asked us to count the trailing zeros in a factorial. This problem deals with the primorial. If
is the nth prime number, then the primorial
# is the product of the prime numbers up to and including
. For example, if n = 5, then
# =
= 2310, which has one trailing zero.
Count the trailing zeros in the primorial
#. Because primorials become large quickly, for large n it helps to derive a formula for the number of trailing zeros.*
Please make your code general because I might add more tests later.
