== 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... Some examples:

In the meantime, some examples:
