(prime-k) factorial

Problem 381

Published on 21 April 2012 at 05:00 pm [Server Time]

For a prime p let S(p) = (∑(p-k)!) mod(p) for 1 ≤ k ≤ 5.

For example, if p=7,
(7-1)! + (7-2)! + (7-3)! + (7-4)! + (7-5)! = 6! + 5! + 4! + 3! + 2! = 720+120+24+6+2 = 872.
As 872 mod(7) = 4, S(7) = 4.

It can be verified that ∑S(p) = 480 for 5 ≤ p < 100.

Find ∑S(p) for 5 ≤ p < 108.
