This challenge is an application of java.math that allows unlimited precision calculations. The primary reference sites are <http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Number.html Java Math>, <http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/math/BigDecimal.html Java BigDecimal>, and <http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/math/BigInteger.html Java BigInteger>.

The usage of BigDecimal function multiply will be essential.

Java Math tutorial: (Simplified summary that is believed correct)

vd-decimal value, vstr-string, vi-integer value 
  xBD=java.math.BigDecimal(vd);  % valid vd,vstr,vi creates xBD a BigDecimal variable
  import java.math.*;  % simplifies statements
  xBD=BigDecimal(vstr);
 
  xmultiplyzBD=xBD.multiply(BigDecimal(z));  % multiply input requires BD type
  
  To convert java to string of unlimited length can be achieved via java toString or Matlab char
  
  xstr=toString(xBD)  or xstr=char(xBD)

*Input:* N [1< N < 1000]

*Output:* Y  (char variable of Y=N! or a BigDecimal variable)
