What i tried to do is ...

504 is (3^2)*(2^3)*(7).
Now i calculated the highest power of 7 which would be contained in 10200!. This can be done using the method where the 10200 would be successively divided by 7 and adding on the quotitients. Similarly we need to find for 2 and 3.

Can you explain this further ? I still dont understand how u got to 1698. What do u mean by successively dividing by 7?

Is there anothey way for this?
