for every ten numbers, two zeros will be added

one from the multiplication of 5 by an even quantity, and the other from the number ending in zero

there are 12 sets of ten numbers in 120
___ the additional seven numbers result in an additional zero

an additional zero comes from the double zero of 100

so, 2*12+1+1
