990 has 4 prime factors 2,3,5,11
the minimum no. that n can take should be 11.

n*(n-1)*(n-2)*.......1 =n!
=>n!=990k (k an integer)
=>n!=9*2*5*11 (for the smallest n, lets take k=1)

if n=10, 10!=10*9*8..1 (we cant get 990, which has a 11)
so the least value of n could be 11, so that 11! would give the 11 we need to make a 990 atleast.

n=11

When you see the following : product of all the integers from 1 to n


Think PRIME numbers. Of the numbers listed, 11 is the smallest prime number that is a multiple of 990
