β¦ Synopsis
Consider the multiplicities e p 1 (n), e p 2 (n), . . . , e p k (n) in which the primes p 1 , p 2 , . . . , p k appear in the factorization of n!. We show that these multiplicities are jointly uniformly distributed modulo (m 1 , m 2 , . . . , m k ) for any fixed integers m 1 , m 2 , . . . , m k , thus improving a result of Luca and StΘnicΘ [F. Luca, P. StΘnicΘ, On the prime power factorization of n!, J. Number Theory 102 (2003) 298-305].
To prove the theorem, we obtain a result regarding the joint distribution of several completely q-additive functions, which seems to be of independent interest.

Given r 3 3 and 1 s A s r, we determine all values of k for which every r-regular graph with edge-connectivity A has a k-factor. Some of the earliest results in graph theory are due to Petersen [8] and concern factors in graphs. Among others, Petersen proved that a regular graph of even degree has a
## Abstract A graph is said to be __K__~1,__n__~βfree, if it contains no __K__~1,__n__~ as an induced subgraph. We prove that for __n__ β©Ύ 3 and __r__ β©Ύ __n__ β1, if __G__ is a __K__~1,__n__~βfree graph with minimum degree at least (__n__^2^/4(__n__ β1))__r__ + (3__n__ β6)/2 + (__n__ β1)/4__r__, the
Given integers n, r and 2, we determine all values of k for which every simple r-regular graph of order n and with edge-connectivity 2 has a k-factor. Using this result we find for k >~ 2 the k-spectra Spk(n ) = {m: there exists a maximal set of m edge-disjoint k-factors of K~} which were introduced
