Factorial

Mathematics has quite a variety of branches, with various functions and operators to use in your projects. Chances are you require a single result, which can’t be generated by a regular calculator. For instance, Factorial comes as a straightforward tool to calculate the factorial of any given number.

First of all, you need to keep your Internet connection active to be able to install the application. Second, it requires .NET Framework to functions, so it’s best to make sure it’s on your computer, even though modern Windows iterations include it in the default feature set.

A number’s factorial is the result you get when multiplying all numbers up to, and including itself. It can get to be a large number pretty fast, so you see now how this application can help you out. It doesn’t take more than a couple of seconds to figure the application out, with all it has to offer found in a pretty compact window.

Needless to say that the main input field stands for the number you want to calculate the factorial for. The second field generates the result at the press of a button, with the possibility to have it sent to clipboard when done, but this needs to be manually done, because there’s no dedicated function, or possibility to export anything.

Punch in a large number and the application assumes the result is infinity, and there is a bit of truth there. Chances to receive erroneous results are minimal. You can save the program along with your other math tools. In case you need to quickly launch it, a neat trick is to assign a hotkey command to it’s shortcut to save some effort and time.

Bottom line is that even an advanced calculator isn’t capable of holding all math operations and functions, and applications like Factorial come to fill in the gaps. It comes in a lightweight package, and delivers the result at the press of a button, being worth your effort if this is what you’re interested in.
