Next year vs the current year (Posted on 2015-02-25) Difficulty: 2 of 5
2016k divides 2016!2016.

For how many positive values of the integer k is the above true?

What would be your answer if the number 2016 was replaced by 2015 in all 2016's appearances?

My solution method is essentially the same, so I'll just share the result to using 2015:


2015 = 5*13*31

So 31 will definitely be the limiting factor.  
2015!^2015 is divisible by 31^(67*2015) = 31^135005.

The final answer to the question is 135005/1 =135005
