I am wondering if it is really possible to create an 8085 assembly language program that calculates the value of 255 factorial. What I have done so far is 18 factorial max.

1You can, but 255! has 505 decimal digits, so you'll need to implement some routines for handling arbitrary precision integer arithmetic (at least for multiply and add). – Paul R Mar 24 '17 at 14:15

1@PaulR what do you need the add for? ;) – Tommylee2k Mar 24 '17 at 14:32

1@Tommylee2k: my bad - just multiply then! ;-) – Paul R Mar 24 '17 at 14:35

just found this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2416483/how-to-find-a-factorial ... the `log(i)/log(10)` version is neat – Tommylee2k Mar 24 '17 at 14:43

1yes. (but not trivial) – Ped7g Mar 24 '17 at 15:33
