Here is a sum from MATHCOUNTS:
What are the last two digits in the sum of the factorials of the first 100 positive integers?
From 1! to 4! you can add the units digits, since 5! to ... have 0 in their units place.
From that I get 13, and I carry over the 1 over to the next column and add the tens digits of 1! to 9! since 10! to ... have 0 in their tens and units place.
I got 73, but the answer key says 13. Can someone please help me? thx
