Or maybe the brackets and regions don't matter?

So is it 32*31*30*29 etc? If so what is that?

32 factorial = 2.63130837 × 10 to the 35th power

And if that is it, what is the number? I don't even know how to get an
actual number for 10 to the 35th power.

If you give me that I COULD multiply it by 2.63130837 (unless you can
do that too for me?)

Thanks, I REALLY REALLY am TOTALLY math challenged
