JavaScript Code:
function trailing_zeros_factorial(n) {
var result = 0;
for (var i = 5; i <= n; i += 5) {
var num = i;
while (num % 5 === 0) {
num /= 5;
result++;
}
}
return result;
}
console.log(trailing_zeros_factorial(8))
console.log(trailing_zeros_factorial(9))
console.log(trailing_zeros_factorial(10))
Sample Output:
1 1 2

JavaScript: Tips of the Day
How to insert an item into an array at a specific index (JavaScript)?
What you want is the splice function on the native array object.
arr.splice(index, 0, item); will insert item into arr at the specified index (deleting 0 items first, that is, it's just an insert). In this example we will create an array and add an element to it into index 2:
var arr = []; arr[0] = "Jani"; arr[1] = "Hege"; arr[2] = "Stale"; arr[3] = "Kai Jim"; arr[4] = "Borge"; console.log(arr.join()); arr.splice(2, 0, "Lene"); console.log(arr.join());
