On the base-\(b\) expansion of the number of trailing zeros of \(b^k\)!
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 14 (2011) no. 6
Let $Z_{b}(n)$ denote the number of trailing zeroes in the base-$b$ expansion of $n!$. In this paper we study the connection between the expression of $\vartheta(b):=\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}Z_{b}(n)/n$ in base $b$, and that of $Z_{b}(b^{k})$.
