What is the value of N?

(1) 10^N is the least positive integer which is divisible by both 5^8 and 4^4.

(2) N is the least positive integer such that product of all integers from 1 to N, inclusive, is divisible by 128.

I think it's D.

Statement 1
5^8 and 4^4 have to both divide 10^N, where N is minimized. We can find N (i.e. there exists a smallest N such that 10^N is divisible by both 5^8 and 4^4). Sufficient.

Statement 2
128 has to divide N!, where N is minimized. We can find N (i.e. there exists a smallest number N such that N! is div by 128). Sufficient.

What is the value of N?

(1) $$10^N$$ is the least positive integer which is divisible by both $$5^8$$ and $$4^4.$$

$$10^N/(5^8*4^4)$$ can be written as $$10^N/(5^8*2^8) = 10^N/(10^8)$$ N has to be 8?

(2) N is the least positive integer such that product of all integers from 1 to N, inclusive, is divisible by 128.

$$128=2^7$$

N! has to contain at least 7 2's to be divisible by $$128 => N!/128 =N!/2^7$$

IF N = 7 then $$N! = {1*2*3*4*5*6*7} = {1*2*3*(2^2)*5*(2*3)*7}$$ this contains only 4 2's we need three more 2
if N = 8 then $$N! = {1*2*3*4*5*6*7*8} = {1*2*3*(2^2)*5*(2*3)*7*(2^3)}$$ this contains 7 twos so N= 8

Sufficient So D
