You wouldn't, for statistics. That's my point.
Only in number theory problems do you actually need bignums for factorials, and those are usually toy problems or modulo some big prime.
I don't know of any actual applications where you need to compute the bignum factorial. I'm curious what the GP needed it for.
- kleiba 11y agoI needed them for a toy problem as well. Tried to experimentally verify the equality of two formulas involving large factorials. It was a counting problem.
