How many factors does 1000! have?
So, I think that…

1000 factorial will have at least 1000 factors Since it is, by definition, 1000 distinct numbers multiplied together).

However, it will have plenty more than that.

I'm not going to tell you the answer, in case this is your homework.

Now, you can multiply any number of those numbers together to make a factor

Just be sure not to count things twice
6! is 720.
9 is a factor of 720, but you can't obtain that by multiplying any combination of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
Maybe they were meaning combinations of the numbers, eg 4*5*9 = 720?

Sigton
Yes, so don't count things twice.

On the other hand, remember to count numbers greater than one thousand, such as
2 * 1000 = 2000

I highly, highly doubt that is homework. It sounds like a competition math problem to me

Anyway here's a starting point

Unless someone else has something to say , then I suggest you try The Emporium (Link in my sig). They have great speed, and would be happy to help you out. Just tell them that pacificapilot suggested it for you.

4*5*9 =180, not 720
I meant 4*4*5*9

I would argue the answer should be 38 because you never have more than 2 significant figures in the input. I might be wrong though.

Circles don't have exterior angles…

WOW Ok… Looks like my Maths teacher tricked me… I'll e-mail him now to see if it was a trick question…

I think they just wanted a floated answer .-.

I'd prefer it you just suggest the Project Ideas forum then find a way to advertise your shop here

Ok. I still think 38 is a decimal though.

38 isn't a decimal as it has no decimal point.

Google's answer

See definition 1, and using that definition, it is, because it is a base 10 number

Yes, but the way you are using the word decimal is as a noun.
