a) Round this number to one significant digit.
b) Round this number to two significant digits.
c) Round this number to three significant digits.
According to the calculator 50! rounds to 3.041 x 10^64 and 60! rounds to 8.321 x 10^81, both rounded to four significant digits. Find the following values.
d) 50! / 60!
e) 60! / 50!
f) 50! x 60!
(note: the calculator will tell you overflow error on problem f because it doesn't like numbers bigger than 10^100 power. You will have to do this one by hand.)

d) 50! / 60!
3.655 x 10^-18
e) 60! / 50!
2.736 x 10^17
f) 50! x 60!

3.041 x 8.321 = 25.304161 or changed to scientific notation, 2.530 x 10^1
10^64 x 10^81 = 10^(64+81) = 10^145
Combining the two parts,
50! x 60! = 2.530 x 10^146
can we go over d-f in class..i am a bit confused, and do not have much practice with this.
