What is the most efficient way to achieve the answer in the attached question?

I broke it down by factors...

= 990
= 99 x 10
= 33 x 3 x 2 x 5
= 11 x 3 x 3 x 2 x 5

Therefore, least possible value of n = 11

Answer: B

Please advise whether this is correct, thanks.

q.stem says that-
n!/990 =n!/11*10*9

u need n >= 11

since we are asked about the least n, then the answer is 11
