In the prime factorization of 109!, what is the exponent of 3? (Reminder: The number N! is the product of the integers from 1 to n. For example,\(5!=5\cdot 4\cdot3\cdot2\cdot 1= 120\) .)

integer [109 / 3  ] =  36

 

integer [109 / 3^2]   =  12

 

integer [109 / 3^3]  =  4

 

integer [ 109/ 3^4 ]  =  1

 

Add these

 

36 + 12 + 4 + 1    =    53  = exponent on 3
