Question 242461: evaluate the factorial expression 409!/408!
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Because 409! and 408! are huge numbers, we can't directly calculate them. However, we can note that 409!=409*408!

So (409!)/(408!)=(409*408!)/(408!)=409

or in short, (409!)/(408!)=409
