Correct answer: 31

We need the highest power of 333 dividing 66!66!66!.

This is found using Legendre’s formula:

v3(66!)=⌊663⌋+⌊6632⌋+⌊6633⌋+⌊6634⌋+⋯v_3(66!)=\left\lfloor \frac{66}{3} \right\rfloor+\left\lfloor \frac{66}{3^2} \right\rfloor+\left\lfloor \frac{66}{3^3} \right\rfloor+\left\lfloor \frac{66}{3^4} \right\rfloor+\cdotsv3​(66!)=⌊366​⌋+⌊3266​⌋+⌊3366​⌋+⌊3466​⌋+⋯

Now compute each term:

  1. ⌊663⌋=22\left\lfloor \frac{66}{3} \right\rfloor=22⌊366​⌋=22
  2. ⌊669⌋=7\left\lfloor \frac{66}{9} \right\rfloor=7⌊966​⌋=7
  3. ⌊6627⌋=2\left\lfloor \frac{66}{27} \right\rfloor=2⌊2766​⌋=2
  4. ⌊6681⌋=0\left\lfloor \frac{66}{81} \right\rfloor=0⌊8166​⌋=0

So,

v3(66!)=22+7+2=31v_3(66!)=22+7+2=31v3​(66!)=22+7+2=31

Hence, the largest natural number nnn such that 3n3^n3n divides 66!66!66! is

31\boxed{31}31​

Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer = 313131.

Our derived answer also is 313131, so they agree.
