  2. Factorial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorial

    The factorial function of a positive integer is defined by the ... gives the number of trailing zeros in the decimal representation of the factorials. [57]

  3. Arbitrary-precision arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrary-precision_arithmetic

    The 1620 was a decimal-digit machine which used discrete transistors, yet it had hardware (that used lookup tables) to perform integer arithmetic on digit strings of a length that could be from two to whatever memory was available. For floating-point arithmetic, the mantissa was restricted to a hundred digits or fewer, and the exponent was ...

  4. Gamma function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_function

    In mathematics, the gamma function (represented by Γ, capital Greek letter gamma) is the most common extension of the factorial function to complex numbers.Derived by Daniel Bernoulli, the gamma function () is defined for all complex numbers except non-positive integers, and for every positive integer =, () = ()!.

  5. Factorial number system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorial_number_system

    The factorial number system is sometimes defined with the 0! place omitted because it is always zero (sequence A007623 in the OEIS). In this article, a factorial number representation will be flagged by a subscript "!". In addition, some examples will have digits delimited by a colon. For example, 3:4:1:0:1:0! stands for

  6. Particular values of the gamma function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particular_values_of_the...

    The gamma function is an important special function in mathematics.Its particular values can be expressed in closed form for integer and half-integer arguments, but no simple expressions are known for the values at rational points in general.

  7. Stirling's approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling's_approximation

    This approximation is good to more than 8 decimal digits for z with a real part greater than 8. Robert H. Windschitl suggested it in 2002 for computing the gamma function with fair accuracy on calculators with limited program or register memory. [13]

  8. Factorion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorion

    Let be a natural number. For a base >, we define the sum of the factorials of the digits [5] [6] of , :, to be the following: ⁡ = =!. where = ⌊ ⁡ ⌋ + is the number of digits in the number in base , ! is the factorial of and

  9. Double factorial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_factorial

    These are counted by the double factorial 15 = (6 − 1)‼. In mathematics, the double factorial of a number n, denoted by n‼, is the product of all the positive integers up to n that have the same parity (odd or even) as n. [1] That is,
