The special case of Legendre's formula for = gives the number of trailing zeros in the decimal representation of the factorials. [57] According to this formula, the number of zeros can be obtained by subtracting the base-5 digits of from , and dividing the result by four. [58]
Often, factorial experiments simplify things by using just two levels for each factor. A 2x2 factorial design, for instance, has two factors, each with two levels, leading to four unique combinations to test. The interaction between these factors is often the most crucial finding, even when the individual factors also have an effect.
A googol is the large number 10 100 or ten to the power of one hundred. In decimal notation, it is written as the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros: 10, 000, 000 ...
Now the function + is unimodal, with maximum value zero. Locally around zero, it looks like − t 2 / 2 {\displaystyle -t^{2}/2} , which is why we are able to perform Laplace's method. In order to extend Laplace's method to higher orders, we perform another change of variables by 1 + t − e t = − τ 2 / 2 {\displaystyle 1+t-e^{t}=-\tau ^{2}/2} .
A natural number is a sociable factorion if it is a periodic point for , where = for a positive integer, and forms a cycle of period . A factorion is a sociable factorion with k = 1 {\displaystyle k=1} , and a amicable factorion is a sociable factorion with k = 2 {\displaystyle k=2} .
In such a context, "simplifying" a number by removing trailing zeros would be incorrect. The number of trailing zeros in a non-zero base-b integer n equals the exponent of the highest power of b that divides n. For example, 14000 has three trailing zeros and is therefore divisible by 1000 = 10 3, but not by 10 4.
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
Because of the order of zeros and poles being defined as a non-negative number n and the symmetry between them, it is often useful to consider a pole of order n as a zero of order –n and a zero of order n as a pole of order –n. In this case a point that is neither a pole nor a zero is viewed as a pole (or zero) of order 0.
