are you serious? even if somebody could give  you the exact number, what would you use  it for?  20000!≈10^(66023)

I remember a different version.  Anyway to “learn the formula”one nust  be able to deduce and prove it. In my opinion  it makes no sense trying to learn mathematics  by picking out advanced problems without  yet understanding the foundations.
