The question basically asks you to find how many zeros 50! has.

To find the No of zeros,

5 | 50
5 | 10 - 0
5 | 2 - 0

So, its 10+2 = 12 zeros.

So 10^12 will be a factor of 50!

Rephrased, the question is asking the number of times 10 appears in the factorisation of 50!
The number 10 will appear when 5 is multiplied by 2 or when there is a number that is a multiple of 10.

Between 1 to 10 inclusive
We have 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
so 10^2

Between 11 to 20 inclusive
we have 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
We have a 5 and 20 which can be rewritten as 5*3 and 2*10 so from these two we have10^2

Between 21 to 30 inclusive
We have 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
From 25 we have 5*5 and two 2s can be taken from 24 or any other even# in this set to make 10^2
And we have 30 which is 3*10
So we have 10^3

Between 31 to 40 inclusive
We have 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40
From 35 we have one 5 and from 40 we have 4*10. So to 5 we multiply the 2 from any other even# in the set to get 5*2. So in this set we have 10^2

Between 41 to 50 inclusive
we have 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50
From 45 we have 9*5 and from 50 we have 5*10. So that is two 5s and one 10. So in this set we can borrow two 2s from any other even number to get 10^3
So in this set we have 10^3

Multiplying all of them together we have 10^3*10^2*10^3*10^2*10^2=[spoiler]10^12[/spoiler] Hence B

Thanks guys :)
wasn't sure if I was approaching it right

we can first find the # of zeroes 50! has ==>
50/5= 10
50/25= 2
==> 10+2=12 zeroes
==> 10^12 will be the largest factor of 50!
IMO: B
