In the question of Zeroes all around by Akshat Sharda, I generalize the formula as $z = \sum_{i=1}^{\left \lfloor log_5n \right \rfloor} \left \lfloor \frac{n}{5^i} \right \rfloor$

and Akshat Sharda himself provided that the quick approximation is $$n = 4z$$. To find the exact form, it is necessary to add a few more number to this sum to find the right $$n$$
