Averaging factorials (Posted on 2024-03-16) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Let m and n be one digit integers (0 to 9) with m>n

1a. Evaluate the mean value of (m!-n!)mod(10)
1b. Evaluate the mean value of (m!-n!)mod(3)

Let m and n be two digit integers (10 to 99) with m>n

2a. Evaluate the mean value of (m!-n!)mod(10)
2b. Evaluate the mean value of (m!-n!)mod(3)

3. Find recursive formulas for n digit integers.

 8  2  2  1  0  0  0  0  0
 9  2  2  1  0  0  0  0  0  0

 2-digit m and n are all zero

 Mod 10 becomes zero when n! starts to include 5.
 Mod 3 becomes zero when n! starts to include 3.



clearvars,clc
for k=[10 3];
for m=1:9
  for n=0:m-1
    f=F(m,n,k);
    fprintf('%3d',f)
  end
  fprintf('\n')
end
fprintf('\n')
end

for k=[10  3];
for m=sym(11):30
  for n=sym(10):m-1
    f=F(m,n,k);
    fprintf('%3d',f)
  end
  fprintf('\n')
end
fprintf('\n')
end

function v=F(m,n,k)
  v=mod(factorial(m)-factorial(n),k);
end
