(3!)^3 = (2*3)^3 = 2^3*3^3 ---> not divisible by 1152
(4!)^3 = (2*3*4)^3 = 2^3*3^3*4^3 = 2^9*3^3 = 2^7*3^2(2^2*3^1) = 1152*(2^2*3^1) -> so divisible by 1152 = 1152*n
Hence, all the further terms will be divisible by 1152
So, the given sum = (1!)^3+ (2!)^3 + (3!)^3 +1152*m = 1+8+216+1152*m = 225+1152*m
Hence, the remainder is 225.B
