Matlab (59) (54)(39)

Hey dawg !!!! we heard you like maths ....

  @(n)sum(fix(n./5.^(1:fix(log(n)/1.6))))

• This is based on my created answer in code review.

• further than what is mentioned in my answer in code review, the formula for number of zeros in factorial(n) is Sum(n/(5^k)) where k varies between 1 and log_5(n)

• The only trivial reason why it cant get golfier is that log5 isnt available in matlab as a builtin , thus I replaced log(5) by 1.6, doesnt matter because it will be anyways floored.

Give it a try
