All you have to do is to sum first 7-8 terms and you will end up with 80 for the last 2 digits.

All the terms from 10! have  2*5*10 = 100 as a factor so none of these will affect the last 2 places in the sum

 

So I only need the last 2 places of 5!

The last place will be 0  (2*5)

 

1*2*3*4*5 = 120 

So the last 2 digits are 20
