COMMENTS

Formula and program of C. Ronaldo only works for n<25, because they do not remove enough powers of 5 for n>=25. - Sean A. Irvine, Sep 29 2011

T. D. Noe, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..200

FORMULA

a(n) = k where k is the smallest integer>=1 such that 10^k=1 mod n!/(2^A011371(n)*5^floor(n/5)) and A011371 is the highest power of 2 dividing n!. - C. Ronaldo (aga_new_ac(AT)hotmail.com), Dec 16 2004

a(n) = order(10, n!/(2^s*5^t)) where 2^s is largest power of 2 dividing n! and 5^t is largest power of 5 dividing n! - Sean A. Irvine, Sep 29 2011

MAPLE

with(numtheory): Digits:=100: A011371:= proc(n) options remember: if n=0 then RETURN(0) else RETURN(A011371(floor(n/2))+floor(n/2)) fi: end; A000976:= proc(n) RETURN(order(10, n!/(2^A011371(n)*5^floor(n/5)))): end; 0, 0, seq(A000976(n), n=3..24); (C. Ronaldo)

MATHEMATICA

Join[{0, 0}, Table[num = n!/(2^IntegerExponent[n!, 2] * 5^IntegerExponent[n!, 5]); MultiplicativeOrder[10, num], {n, 3, 30}]] (* T. D. Noe, Jun 21 2012 *)
