g ( a ) is defined as the product of all even integers k such that 0 < k ≤ x . for example , g ( 14 ) = 2 × 4 × 6 × 8 × 10 × 12 × 14 . if g ( y ) is divisible by 4 ^ 11 , what is the smallest possible value for a ?
g ( a ) = 4 ^ 11 = 2 ^ 22 . so we have to find a product with atleast 22 2 ' s in it . in option 1 22 the total no of 2 ' s = [ 22 / 2 ] + [ 22 / 4 ] + [ 22 / 8 ] + [ 22 / 16 ] = 11 + 5 + 2 + 1 = 19 in option 2 24 the total no of 2 ' s = [ 24 / 2 ] + [ 24 / 4 ] + [ 24 / 8 ] + [ 24 / 16 ] = 12 + 6 + 3 + 1 = 22 . hence b
