:There may, of course, be more than one way to decompose a J-P number into a product of factorials but the idea is to choose the way which uses the largest factorials and present these in highest to lowest order. I've added a sentence to the task description to try and clarify this. --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 09:57, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

== Factoring the 1050th number ==
The 1050th jp number is 139,345,920,000. One possible factorisation is 7! * 5!^3 * 2!^4, but the Phix/Julia/Wren entries are not getting that. I have thought of a better strategy, based on the prime powers, but it would produce the ''lowest'' factorials... --[[User:Petelomax|Petelomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]]) 23:52, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
