[Scilab-users] Computing with very large numbers in Scilab

[Rafael Guerra]

Dear Scilab'ers,

Happy New Year.
Does someone know to perform in Scilab computations involving very large
numbers?
For example, the how to compute the following probability formula:
1-365!/((365-23)! *365^23)

1-factorial(365)/(factorial(365-23)* 365^23)   produces Nan in Scilab
The correct answer (using Wolfram Alpha) is: 0.507...

Thanks and regards
Rafael G.
