COMMENTS

It is conjectured that a(11) = 0 since no factorial < 10000 contains exactly eleven nines.

LINKS

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..56.

EXAMPLE

a(2) = 11 since 11! = 39916800 contains exactly two 9's.

MATHEMATICA

Do[k = 1; While[ Count[IntegerDigits[k! ], 9] != n, k++ ]; Print[k], {n, 1, 60}]

PROG

(Python)

def a(n, multiple_limit=300):

fk, limit = 1, multiple_limit*n

for k in range(1, limit+1):

fk *= k

if str(fk).count("9") == n: return k

return 0

print([a(n) for n in range(1, 57)]) # Michael S. Branicky, Dec 11 2021
