The first error in factorial
Using the data type double together with the function factorial can lead to errors. A simple way to demonstrate numerical errors is to calculate
n!/(n-1)! - n
The true value of this term is zero.
Q: Find the smallest number n, for which this term is not exactly zero, when calculated in MATLAB! Do not enter leading or trailing zeros or blanks!
