The following problem is from both the 2024 AMC 10A #5 and 2024 AMC 12A #4, so both problems redirect to this page.

Problem

What is the least value of $n$ such that $n!$ is a multiple of $2024$?

$\textbf{(A) } 11\qquad\textbf{(B) } 21\qquad\textbf{(C) } 22\qquad\textbf{(D) } 23\qquad\textbf{(E) } 253$

Solution

Note that $2024=2^3\cdot11\cdot23$ in the prime factorization. Since $23!$ is a multiple of $2^3, 11,$ and $23,$ we conclude that $23!$ is a multiple of $2024.$ Therefore, we have $n=\boxed{\textbf{(D) } 23}.$

Remark

Memorizing the prime factorization of the current year is useful for the AMC 8/10/12 Exams.
