I was given this hint in a different problem,
Now use that a prime p occurs in n! with multiplicity exactly ⌊n/p⌋+⌊n/p2⌋+⌊n/p3⌋+⌊n/p4⌋+…
For P=200!2100⋅100!
And the prime being p=3.
How is the claim for n! true?
Consider n≥6.
n=6⟹n!=720
720/3=240→240/3=80⟹3 comes in twice.
Then, [6/3]+[6/9]=2.
So suppose 3 occurs in n! with multiplicity, ⌊n/p⌋+⌊n/p2⌋+⌊n/p3⌋+⌊n/p4⌋+…
It is required to show that, for (n+1)!, 3 occurs in multiplicity,
⌊n+1/p⌋+⌊n+1/p2⌋+⌊n+1/p3⌋+⌊n+1/p4⌋+…
(n+1)!=(n+1)n!.
But I cant prove anything else.
Even intuitively, why does this make sense?
