Mathematics and the quest for a great new business.

Recently I stumbled upon this problem:

whats the highest power of 6 in 400! ?
400 ! being equal to 400 * 399 * 398 * 397 ........... 3 * 2 * 1.
big enough to overflow a data type. None the less, lets try to solve this.


The answer is quite easy. But the logic you define to such a problem is what I look out for.

Sorry for the suspense. I shall post it soon.

I have it on the paper - will scan it soon.
