# Floor and Ceiling Functions

Floor functions map a real number x to the largest integer less than or equal to x. You can probably guess what the ceiling function does.

# Floor and Ceiling Functions: Level 1 Challenges

$\large \lim_{x\to \infty}\dfrac{\lfloor \sqrt x \rfloor^2}{x} = \ ?$

Note: Type -1000 as an answer if you think this limit does not exist.

Find the number of trailing zeros of the number $$60!$$.

For all $$x \ge 0$$, and $$x \in \mathbb {\text{R}}$$, is it true that

$\left \lfloor \sqrt{\lfloor x \rfloor}\right \rfloor = \left \lfloor \sqrt{x} \right \rfloor$

Let $$\left\lfloor x \right\rfloor$$ denote the greatest integer less that or equal to $$x$$.

So, Find the sum of all possible solutions of

$\left\lfloor x \right\rfloor+ \left\lfloor 2x \right\rfloor+\left\lfloor 4x \right\rfloor+\left\lfloor 8x \right\rfloor+\left\lfloor 16x \right\rfloor+\left\lfloor 32x \right\rfloor=12345$

Note: If you feel that there are no such possible values of x, type the answer as $$0$$

If $$f(x) = \lceil x^{2}\rceil$$, what is the value of $$f\left(\sqrt {\sqrt {5}} \right)$$? 

Notation: $$\lceil \cdot \rceil$$ denotes the ceiling function.
