Similarly 3000!=22993.31498........29106........2999.

Therefore for 3000! to be completely divisible by 30! all the prime factors till 29 in 3000! have to cancel out...

as power of 29 in 3000! is 106...the power of 29 in 30! in the denominator has to be 106.

Therefore the reqd power of 30! is 106
