elementary number theory - the exponent of the highest power of p dividing n!

The formula for the exponent of the highest power of prime p dividing n! is npk, but the question is n=1000! (really, it has the factorial) and p=5.



When I use Wolfram Alpha , I panicked because the number has 2,567 decimal digits.



I think if I write this number I'd need paper all the way to the Amazon.



Perhaps I misunderstand the formula?
