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]
In number theory, a factorion in a given number base is a natural number that equals the sum of the factorials of its digits. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The name factorion was coined by the author Clifford A. Pickover .
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
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 googol is the large number 10 100 or ten to the power of one hundred. ... it would still only equal 10 95 grains. Another 100,000 observable universes filled with ...
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.
When the variable is a positive integer, the number () is equal to the number of n-permutations from a set of x items, that is, the number of ways of choosing an ordered list of length n consisting of distinct elements drawn from a collection of size .
If a full factorial design becomes too complex due to the sheer number of combinations, researchers can use a fractional factorial design. This method strategically omits some combinations (usually at least half) to make the experiment more manageable.
