Divisibility comparison between factorials

May 05, 2012

Let f5(n) be the largest integer x for which 5x divides n. For example, f5(625000) = 7.

Let T5(n) be the number of integers i which satisfy f5((2·i-1)!) < 2·f5(i!) and 1 ≤ in. It can be verified that T5(103) = 68 and T5(109) = 2408210.

Find T5(1018).
