Topic: Sylvester-Schur: p-adic valuation

over in #new members > Working on a project: Sylvester-Schur I have started a query. I am interested in code for Legendre's formula for the exact power of a prime p dividing factorial n, namely . Can someone help me find this in Mathlib?
I would also like to see how this is used in Lean proofs, so that I can prove (or find in Mathlib) two other items referenced in the new members thread: Law of Ademption and Fundamental Inequality.

Nat.Prime.emultiplicity_factorial or Nat.Prime.pow_dvd_factorial_iff or padicValNat_factorial
It's unfortunate that has several spellings in mathlib.
