== Factoring the 1050th number ==
== Factoring the 1050th number ==
The 1050th jp number is 139,345,920,000. One and I suspect the only 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 is not straightforward and would naturally produce the ''lowest'' factorials - I ''think'' I might have just thought of a way to convert that to the highest factorials... In the meantime, some examples:
The 1050th jp number is 139,345,920,000. It factors as 7! * 5!^3 * 2!^4 or 8! * 5!^3 * 2! but the <del>Phix</del>/Julia/Wren entries are not getting that. Update: new algorithm posted. --[[User:Petelomax|Petelomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]]) 05:31, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

There are probably only a few ways to do each, maybe show them all? --[[User:Petelomax|Petelomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]]) 23:52, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
