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.
\[\lfloor1\rfloor\times\lfloor2\rfloor\times\lfloor3\rfloor\times\lfloor4\rfloor\times\cdots \times\lfloor100\rfloor\]
Find the trailing number of zeros of the product above.
\[ \]
Notation: \( \lfloor \cdot \rfloor \) denotes the floor function.

If \(x\) is an irrational number, what is the value of \(\left \lceil \left \{ x \right \} \right \rceil\)?
Notations:
\( \lceil \cdot \rceil \) denotes the ceiling function.
\( \{ \cdot \} \) denotes the fractional part function.

True or false:
\(\quad\) For any real number \(x\), the value of \(\{x\} \) can never be 1.
\[\] Notation: \( \{ \cdot \} \) denotes the fractional part function.

Let \( 3^a \) be the highest power of 3 that divides \( 1000! \). What is \( a \)?
Note: \(1000! = 1 \times 2 \times 3 \ldots \times 999 \times 1000\).
