Things less than 52!

80,658,175,170,943,878,571,660,636,856,403,766,975,289,505,440,883,277,824,000,000,000,000 is 52! and is how many combinations we can arrange a deck of 52 cards

2,372,500,000,000,000,000 Is pretty big but not much compared to 80,658,175,170,943,878,571,660,636,856,403,766,975,289,505,440,883,277,824,000,000,000,000!

So a coworker and I saw these today and noticed it said over a billion probiotics per bottle and over a million people drink them daily. Naturally that got us pondering the age old question; what’s bigger? The number of probiotics consumed thru Yakult or 52 factorial?

[Things less than 52! @52factorial]

So we do that for the next 65 years and we get 2,372,500,000,000,000,000 or two quintillion three hundred seventy-two quadrillion five hundred trillion probiotics consumed.

@somar_tonia Boy do I have a fun fact for you

[Things less than 52! @52factorial]

Still true!

[Ballersauce @csstephen7]

Far less than a deck of cards

Update! 80,000 thoughts per day not per second so that is 29,200,000 thoughts per year at 80 years is 2,336,000,000. With 113 billion people that is 263,968,000,000,000,000,000 total thoughts!

[Things less than 52! @52factorial]

What is bigger? The amount thoughts every human has ever thought or the number of combinations for the order of a deck of cards?

[Things less than 52! @52factorial]

22,806,835,200,000,000,000,000,000 or twenty-two septillion eight hundred six sextillion eight hundred thirty-five quintillion two hundred quadrillion is a large number but still relatively small compared to 52!

@rccprofscott You are correct, thank you for catching that!

[Things less than 52! @52factorial]

So in conclusion, 80,658,175,170,943,878,571,660,636,856,403,766,975,289,505,440,883,277,824,000,000,000,000 is far far more than the amount of chicken laid eggs that have ever existed.

[Things less than 52! @52factorial]

What is bigger? The amount of combinations you can arrange the order of a deck of playing cards in or every chicken laid egg that has ever existed?

Just to EGGxagerate the numbers, let’s say they’ve been around for 100 million years and have laid 1.1 trillion eggs every year. That gives us a grand total of 110 quintillion eggs or 110,000,000,000,000,000,000 eggs
