I'm also glad I'm not the only geek who has an interest in factorial of large numbers. I’m glad you found it useful.

Pappas Mon, 07 Sep 2009 21:05:56 +0000 http://paulhartrick.com/the-first-program-i-ever-wrote#comment-1656 Thanks! Believe it or not, I was actually trying to solve 1000000! , but, yes, my sci calculator was only good for 69! . My windows sci calculator was much better. It took me up to (10^5)! , but it wouldn't give me (10^6)! . I tried some online calculators , but they couldn't even come close to the windows sci calculator. For now, and for my purposes, all I needed was that answer. I'll search for a calculator later. Thank you, again, you have saved me a lot of search time. As I am rural, I only have dial-up. Yes, it only feels like it would be faster to just 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x .............with pencil and paper (how many life-times????). than to search for the answer. and wait for the snail-speed downloads!!!!

It was me who brought the Swinburne Uni PC's to a grinding hault in the early eighties with this Factorial Formulae on PUNCH CARDS... YES! punch card programming LOL Pauly, do you remember where you got the workings from ?…… It was me who brought the Swinburne Uni PC’s to a grinding hault in the early eighties with this Factorial Formulae on PUNCH CARDS… YES! punch card programming LOL
