[Exercise] - 3

Calculate, or otherwise determine $$\sum_{k=1}^{500}k! \mod{189}$$

  1. $$k! \equiv 0 (\mod 189)$$ for each $k \geq 9$. The rest is simple summation giving 117.

  2. Thank you for the interest. You might like the Coconuts exercise ( if you haven't already come across it in the past ).
