2. Trailing Zeros

• 本题难度: Easy

• Topic: Math&Bit Manipulation

  Description

  Write an algorithm which computes the number of trailing zeros in n factorial.

Example
Example 1:
Input: 11
Output: 2

Explanation: 
11! = 39916800, so the output should be 2

Example 2:
Input: 5
Output: 1

Explanation: 
5! = 120, so the output should be 1.

Challenge
O(log N) time

我的代码

class Solution:
    """
    @param: n: An integer
    @return: An integer, denote the number of trailing zeros in n!
    """
    def trailingZeros(self, n):
        # write your code here, try to do it without arithmetic operators.
        count = 0
        f = 5
        while(f<n):
            count += n//f
            f *= 5
        return count

思路

每一个末尾处为0都是有5和2相乘得出来的，2出现的频率远远高于5，所以不需要考虑2出现的情况。只需要考虑分解质因数出现了多少个5即可
