Project Euler : Find the sum of the digits in the number 100!

Problem 20

Find the sum of the digits in the number 100!

Solution (In Ruby)

All we have to do for the above problem is to write a factorial method. Get the value of 100! and split it into characters and simply add them. Source code is given below.

def fact(n)
  return 1 if n == 0
  n * fact(n-1)
end
puts "Result is #{fact(100).to_s.split(//).inject(0){|b,i| b+i.to_i}}"
