In Visual Basic the numbers can be approximated:

 lsf = 0
 f = 1
 For i = 1 To 100
   f = f * i
   If i <> 50 Then lsf = lsf + Log(f)
 Next i
 Text1.Text = Text1.Text & lsf / Log(10)
 cl = lsf / Log(10)
 Text1.Text = Text1.Text & crlf & 10 ^ (cl - Int(cl))
 
finds

6875.94879958824
8.88790877214531

meaning the result of the division is 8.8879... * 10^6875

While this number is beyond the reach of UBASIC, Mintoris Basic, running on Android is able to handle such large numbers:
