How to compute the factorial of a number greater than 20 in JavaScript

1 Answer

/*
    This program computes the factorial of numbers greater than 20.
    JavaScript's BigInt type supports arbitrary‑precision integers,
    making it ideal for very large factorials.
*/

/*
    Compute factorial using BigInt.
    The algorithm multiplies numbers from 2 to n.
    BigInt handles overflow internally and grows as needed.
*/
function factorialBig(n) {
    let result = 1n; // BigInt literal

    for (let i = 2n; i <= n; i++) {
        result *= i;
    }

    return result;
}

/*
    Main entry point: read input, compute factorial, print result.
*/
async function main() {
    process.stdout.write("Enter a number greater than 20: ");

    // Read input from stdin
    const input = await new Promise(resolve =>
        process.stdin.once("data", d => resolve(d.toString().trim()))
    );

    const n = BigInt(input);

    const result = factorialBig(n);

    console.log(`\nFactorial of ${n} is:\n`);
    console.log(result.toString());
}

main();


/*
run:

Enter a number greater than 20: 25

Factorial of 25 is:

15511210043330985984000000
