Pretty easy to do with strings:

  from math import factorial
  n = factorial(100)
  s = str(n)
  print(len(s) - len(s.rstrip('0')))

or count them:

  from itertools import takewhile
  sum(1 for _ in takewhile(lambda c: c == '0', reversed(s)))

or mathematically:

  sum(1 for _ in itertools.takewhile(
    lambda x: n % (10**x) == 0,
    itertools.count(1)))

-tkc
