Write a c program to find factorial of very large numbers






1. C program to find factorial of very large or big numbers
2. Factorial of big numbers in c programming language
3. Algorithm and c program to calculate factorial of 100 or large number in c

#include<stdio.h>
#define MAX 10000
void factorialof(int);
void multiply(int);
int length = 0;
int fact[MAX];

int main(){
    int num;
    int i;

    printf("Enter any integer number : ");
    scanf("%d",&num);
   
    fact[0]=1;

    factorialof(num);
   
    printf("Factorial is : ");
    for(i=length;i>=0;i--){
         printf("%d",fact[i]);
    }
    return 0;
}
void factorialof(int num){
    int i;
    for(i=2;i<=num;i++){
         multiply(i);
    }
}
void multiply(int num){
    long i,r=0;
    int arr[MAX];
    for(i=0;i<=length;i++){
                arr[i]=fact[i];
        }

    for(i=0;i<=length;i++){
         fact[i] = (arr[i]*num + r)%10;
         r = (arr[i]*num + r)/10;
         //printf("%d ",r);
    }
    if(r!=0){
         while(r!=0){
             fact[i]=r%10;
             r= r/10;
             i++;
         }
    }
    length = i-1;   
}


Note: You can change the value of MAX to find factorial of too large numbers.

Algorithm or logic to find the factorial of large numbers:

As we know in c there are not any such data types which can store a very large numbers.  For example we want to solve the expression:

1000!


Factorial of 1000 is very big number which beyond the range of even long int or long double.  Then question is how to store such a big numbers in c?  

Solution is very simple i.e. using array. Above program has used same logic that is we are using as usual logic to find out the factorial of any number except instead of storing the data in the normal variables we are storing into the array.

if number is 100000 thn ..? its working ?

@[Alka Khohara] not you can not with this program. If you want to compute you can use https://gmplib.org/ library. Or if you want to do it yourself you can use array to store digits of number.

BTW for your information !100000 has 456574 digits.

And if you want to know for fun. I calculated it in python, so here it is.

how can we find 100 factorial using pointers? can u help me with that?
