Why doesn’t the number of unique card shuffles end in a bunch of zeros? Factorials produce permanent zeros when you multiply by 10, 20 ,,etc. and also the 2 x 5’s.

A math major on Free Republic! I deliberately populated the zeros at the end with random numbers to see if anybody would notice.

The actual number is 80,658,175,170,943,878,571,660,636,856,403,766,975,289,505,440,883,277,824,000,000,000,000

Per this website since there are 169,541 characters in Hamlet and 36 keys needed to make this work on a typewriter, the probability is 36169541.
