I am not interested in this conversation, but I think I should clear up the misinformation spewed about factorials.

I'd also say that a human could calculate 1,000,000! before they can build a computer to do be able to do it without imploding.

It took me 1 minute to find and install GMP, 2 minutes to write this code:

#include <gmpxx.h>
#include <iostream>

int main() {
mpz_class f=1;
for (int n=1; n<=1000000; ++n)
f *= n;
std::cout << f << '\n';
}

2 more minutes to figure out the right g++ invocation, a few seconds to compile and less than 2 minutes to run it.

Now, 1000! has around half a million digits.

1000! has 2568 digits. The precise value is
