Kiernan, Gerard – College Mathematics Journal, 1985
Provides several algorithms that use extended precision methods to compute large factorials exactly. The programs are written in BASIC and PASCAL. The approach used for computing N considers how large N is, how the built-in limitation on exact integer representation can be bypassed, and how long it takes to compute N. (JN)
