A terminal zero is a $0$ that appears at the end of a number. For example, the number $3,800$ has two terminal zeros.
How many terminal zeroes does $40 \cdot 6 \cdot 75 \cdot 12$ have?

   A terminal zero is a $0$ that appears at the end of a number.     

   For example, the number $3,800$ has two terminal zeros.     
   How many terminal zeroes does $40 \cdot 6 \cdot 75 \cdot 12$ have?     

 

   40 • 6 • 75 • 12  =  216,000     ==>>     Three terminating zeros.     

 

   Sometimes it's easier to just do the arithmetic and count the zeros.
