%N Number of trailing zeros in n!; highest power of 5 dividing n!.
%C Also the highest power of 10 dividing n! (different from A054899). - _Hieronymus Fischer_, Jun 18 2007
%C a(n) = (n - A053824(n))/4. - _Lekraj Beedassy_, Nov 01 2010
%C Alternatively, a(n) equals the expansion of the base-5 representation A007091(n) of n (i.e., where successive positions from right to left stand for 5^n or A000351(n)) under a scale of notation whose successive positions from right to left stand for (5^n - 1)/4 or A003463(n); for instance, n = 7392 has base-5 expression 2*5^5 + 1*5^4 + 4*5^3 + 0*5^2 + 3*5^1 + 2*5^0, so that a(7392) = 2*781 + 1*156 + 4*31 + 0*6 + 3*1 + 2*0 = 1845. - _Lekraj Beedassy_, Nov 03 2010

%F a(n) = Sum_{i>=1} floor(n/5^i).

%F From _Hieronymus Fischer_, Jun 25 2007 and Aug 13 2007, edited by _M. F. Hasler_, Dec 27 2019: (Start)
%F G.f.: g(x) = Sum_{k>0} x^(5^k)/(1-x^(5^k))/(1-x).
%F a(n) = Sum_{k=5..n} Sum_{j|k, j>=5} (floor(log_5(j)) - floor(log_5(j-1))).
%F G.f.: g(x) = L[b(k)](x)/(1-x)
%F where L[b(k)](x) = Sum_{k>=0} b(k)*x^k/(1-x^k) is a Lambert series with b(k) = 1, if k>1 is a power of 5, else b(k) = 0.
%F G.f.: g(x) = Sum_{k>0} c(k)*x^k/(1-x),
%F where c(k) = Sum_{j>1, j|k} floor(log_5(j)) - floor(log_5(j - 1)).
%F Recurrence:
%F a(n) = floor(n/5) + a(floor(n/5));
%F a(5*n) = n + a(n);
%F a(n*5^m) = n*(5^m-1)/4 + a(n).
%F a(k*5^m) = k*(5^m-1)/4, for 0 <= k < 5, m >= 0.
%F Asymptotic behavior:
%F a(n) = n/4 + O(log(n)),
%F a(n+1) - a(n) = O(log(n)), which follows from the inequalities below.
%F a(n) <= (n-1)/4; equality holds for powers of 5.
%F a(n) >= n/4 - 1 - floor(log_5(n)); equality holds for n = 5^m-1, m > 0.
%F lim inf (n/4 - a(n)) = 1/4, for n -> oo.
%F lim sup (n/4 - log_5(n) - a(n)) = 0, for n -> oo.
%F lim sup (a(n+1) - a(n) - log_5(n)) = 0, for n -> oo.
