What is 1! + 2! + ... + 10! ?
A. 4,037,910
B. 4,037,913
C. 4,037,915
D. 4,037,916
E. 4,037,918
Notice that the units digit of each answer choice is different; rather than perform the arithmetic as indicated, let’s determine the units digit of each factorial:
1! = 1
2! = 2
3! = 6
4! = 24
After 4!, all other factorials end in zero.
So, the units digit of the answer is 1 + 2 + 6 + 4 = 13, or 3.
Answer: B
