Factorials - using primes - HELP
Could someone give me examples with explanations of how factorials are calcualted using primes.
I have found this:
10! = 2^8 * 3^4 * 5^2 * 7
which gives the correct answer. I see that the calculation uses all the primes less than the number(10), but where did the exponents come from?
What does 20! look like and why?
