factorial

[renegade05]

Is there a way to show factorials in a certain range?

say i wanted to start at 30 and go to 41. like 30 x 31 x 32 x 33 x 34... x 40 x 41 = whatever.

Is there a way to show that, and actualy plug it into a calc?

thanks.

Well, it is unlikely that your calculator will get past 69! It gets to be an awful lot of digits.

you want the product of the consecutive integers from 1 to 41 (included), and then divide that result
by the product of the consecutive integers from 1 to 29 (included), so you are left with your problem.

\(\displaystyle That \ is \ \ \frac{41!}{29!}\)


You can enter this fraction into certain calculators and get your answer in an
equivalent scientific notation.
