Correct answer: A

  1. We need the highest power of 333 dividing 50!50!50!.

    This is found using Legendre’s formula: v3(50!)=⌊503⌋+⌊5032⌋+⌊5033⌋+⌊5034⌋+⋯v_3(50!)=\left\lfloor \frac{50}{3} \right\rfloor+\left\lfloor \frac{50}{3^2} \right\rfloor+\left\lfloor \frac{50}{3^3} \right\rfloor+\left\lfloor \frac{50}{3^4} \right\rfloor+\cdotsv3​(50!)=⌊350​⌋+⌊3250​⌋+⌊3350​⌋+⌊3450​⌋+⋯

  2. Compute each term: ⌊503⌋=16\left\lfloor \frac{50}{3} \right\rfloor=16⌊350​⌋=16 ⌊509⌋=5\left\lfloor \frac{50}{9} \right\rfloor=5⌊950​⌋=5 ⌊5027⌋=1\left\lfloor \frac{50}{27} \right\rfloor=1⌊2750​⌋=1 ⌊5081⌋=0\left\lfloor \frac{50}{81} \right\rfloor=0⌊8150​⌋=0

  3. Add them: v3(50!)=16+5+1=22v_3(50!)=16+5+1=22v3​(50!)=16+5+1=22

  4. Therefore, the largest n∈Nn \in \mathbb{N}n∈N such that 3n3^n3n divides 50!50!50! is n=22n=22n=22

  5. Checking options:

    • A: 222222 ✅
    • B: 202020 ❌
    • C: 212121 ❌
    • D: 232323 ❌

Hence, the correct option is A.
