Solution:
We need to find the largest k such that 2k divides 27!.
The exponent of 2 in 27! is given by:
⌊227⌋+⌊427⌋+⌊827⌋+⌊1627⌋+⌊3227⌋
Calculate each term:
⌊227⌋=13
⌊427⌋=6
⌊827⌋=3
⌊1627⌋=1
⌊3227⌋=0
Sum:
13+6+3+1+0=23
Therefore, the largest positive integer k such that 27! is divisible by 2k is k=23.
