Greek to me

[edit]

Greetings. I just wrote the page Greek to me. I am comparing similar expressions in other languages. I was wondering if you would be able to add the expression in any languages with which you are comfortable. Btw, I just found your page/profile by running a search for users who have a level 4/level 5 ability in non-English languages. Thanks much! samwaltz 04:25, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits at combination

[edit]

The zeros shouldn't make you suspicious, quite the opposite. When you calculate the factorial 52! you're multiplying the numbers 1, 2, 3, ... 52. This includes ten multiples of 5, two multiples of 25 and lots of even numbers. So you should expect it to end with twelve zeros. Likewise, 47! should end with ten zeros. Double precision calculations won't be accurate enough for such big numbers; you need arbitrary precision. I've checked using sage: the current version of the calculation is correct.
