Mr Fradgley’s Question Time. New Term, New Question

Mr Fradgley is back with a new challenge, this maths question is from a Winchester Scholarship paper. If you’re feeling brave, have a go.

 

The symbol 6! means 6x5x4x3x2x1. You need not work this out.

Find the highest power of 12 that divides exactly into 12!

 

Answer from Mr Fradgley, Henry (year 7) and the Grandfather of Jemima Baugh and Ben Mayon-White
