Factorials everywhere (Posted on 2004-08-16) Difficulty: 3 of 5
The equation a!b!=c! is trivial if we allow a or b to be 0 or 1.

However, adding that 1<a<b<c, also allows trivial solutions: which? What condition should be added to disallow such solutions?

Finally, adding that condition, can you find any solution to the problem?

Some Thoughts Partial Answer | Comment 6 of 7 |

Imposing the restriction c-1> b> a> 1; with a little trial and error we would obtain:

(a, b, c) = (6, 7, 10)
