Elegant way of finding ONE of the solutions. But there is more than one solution. The mistake made in the video is discounting 10 and 1 (and 0, since 0! = 1) as possible values for m and n. 10! x 1! = 10! => m = 10, n = 1 or m = 1, n = 10 => mn = 10 x 1 = 10 is also a correct possible solution. 10! x 0! = 10! => m = 10, n = 0 or m = 0, n = 10 => mn = 10 x 0 = 0 is also a correct possible solution.

Nice step by step explanation, but to do it faster we can observe that 10! has exactly one 7 in it's expansion, and 7 is prime, so one of the solutions has to be at least 7 and the other solution cannot be higher than 6. So we can start by writing 7! (and leaving open the possibility it will go higher) and then crossing out all the factors from 1 to 7 in 10! Then see what we can construct from what's left: 10 * 9 * 8.

Alternate solution: We know immediately that either m or n>=7, since no factorial less than 7 can generate 7 as a factor of 10!. From there it is trivial to check; just take a factorial between 7 and 10 and divide 10! by it and check if it's a factorial. 10!=3628800 3628800/(7!)=720=6!, so we have a solution (6; 7) and 6*7=42. 3628800/(8!) is not a factorial, and neither is 3628800/(9!). 3628800/(10!)=1, and we know 1!=1 and 0!=1, so our answers are 42, 10, and 0.

​@@JossWainwright I imagine it like it was shown in that video but in a different order: It is easy to see that in the prime factorization of 10!, there is one 7 and two 5s. First, in the formula for m!, we insert 7 because there is only one and it has to be somewhere. Before 7, we sequentially insert 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Now, we have one 5 inserted and we need to decide about the second one. Case 1: We multiply by 2 and get 10. We cannot insert into the formula for n! because we don't have a second 7, so we insert 10 into the formula for m! between 7 and 10 filling in the formula for m! with numbers 8, 9 and get 10!. Therefore, n! = 1. so n=0 or n=1 Case 2: We insert the second 5 into the formula for n! and fill in to the left: n! = 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5... we have 2 and 3 left, and 2 * 3 = 6. So we insert 6 into the formula for n! and we have m! = 7, n! = 6

I actually solved this a different way, by listing the first few factorial numbers up to 6 (1, 2, 6, 24, 120, 720), then multiplying from the top of 10! (10, 10x9 = 90, 90x8 = 720). If m! is missing a multiplier of 720 to become 10!, then we can make n compensate for this, so n = 6! = 720 and 10-3 = 7, so m= 7. Therefore mn = 42. Very nice question, and a, great video!

The presentation in the video managed to find a solution, but didn't perform a rigorous analysis or search for all solutions. You can do it a bit more rigorous if you let m be the larger and n the smaller of the two natural numbers and then formally reason about the ranges in which they must lie. For example, m must be at least 7 and at most 10, etc.

I solved it by loocking at the factors of the factors. I said, "10 is 2×5 and 5 is 5×1. We need two 5s. The only way to get 2 5s is if both M and N are at least 5. Then I looked for the highest prime. I saw 7, and said that exactly one of the numbers can have a 7. Meaning M >= 7 and N < 7. Then I divided 10! By 7! And 5! And was left with 6. So we needed one more 6. So bump the 5! Up to a 6!" Checked the math and it was correct. M!×N! = 7!×6! = 10! M×N = 7×6 = 42.

There are 2 mistakes here. 1. 1! * 10! = 10!, and the same idea about 0! * 10!. 2. The equation is symmetrical to M and N. So if M=A and N=B are the solution-pair, then M=B and N=A fit either. It's inaccurate, to claim, M=this and N=that without a note. E.g. a prior assumption: "let M be > N, for a while, but the opposite will be good too" (I have, but omit the proof, why this is a complete list) Roots, (m,n): (0,10), (10,0), (1,10), (10,1), (6,7), (7,6) Thus final answers are: 0, 10, 42

But n needs be less than 7 to not disturb the correct exponent of the prime 7. So n has two possibilities 5 or 6. As five does not correct the exponent of the prime 2. We only have m=6 as a possibility. Checking m=6 6!=5*3^2*2^4 so m! n!= 7*5^2*3^4*2^8= 10! m=7 and n=6 is also a solution. And we have no more solutions as m!*n! will decrease for m=m*

If you have some familiarity with factorials you should be able to solve this easily in your head. In order for m!n! = 10! to be true, one and only one of them must have 7 as a factor, because there is only one 7 in the factors of 10! Which means one of them must be at least 7! (or more) Starting with the lowest option of m = 7 you get m! x (8 x 9 x 10) = 10! Which would mean m! x (72 x10) =10! or m! x 720 = 10! Thus n! = 720. And as I said, if you are familiar with factorials you will recognize straightaway that 720 = 6! So mn = 42. (This is disregarding the trivial answer of 0 that people keep bringing up.)

Since 7 is a prime number you know you need m (assuming m>n) to be either 7, 8, 9 or 10. If m=7, n!=10*9*8 which can reorders as 6!. If m=8, n!=10*9 which is not possible as 4!

Really helped when I considered the numbers as nothing but the product of powers of primes It went like this: 10! Went to 9! But 10 can only be written as 2*5 9*10 for 8! Can only be written as 2*3*3*5 in low terms anyway 8*9*10 can be written as 2*3*4*5*6 which is 6! And since we went down to 7! To get those terms out of the 10!, we got our answer as 6 and 7

Before watching: Alright, let's get the *trivial cases* out of the way. 0!=1!=1, so mn = 0 and mn = 10 are acceptable solutions. However, the third answer requires knowledge of factorization. Let's look at the first numbers in the factorial expansion. Counting down from 10, we'll stop when we hit a prime number. 10! = (10)(9)(8)(7!) We can further decompose (10) into (2)(5), 9 into (3)(3), and 8 into (2)(2)(2). Thus we can rewrite this as: (2)(5)(3)(3)(2)(2)(2)(7!) Now we mess with the factors of our 10, 9, and 8. We know it must be at least 5!, because 5 is our largest prime. However... (2)(5)(3)(3)(2)(2)(2) = (5)(2)(2)(3)(2)(2)(3) = (5!)6. ...we have a leftover 2 and 3. Fortunately, since 2*3 = 6, we can rewrite our expression as 6! (aka 6*5!) Then 10! = (6!)(71) And mn = 42. Summary: Trivial case answers: mn = 0, mn = 10. Non-trivial: mn = 42.

m = 1 and n = 10 also works, as m = 0 and n = 10. So mn = 10 or mn = 0.

Full solution. Let m >= n it's easy to check that (1) 10! / (6!)² = 7 It means 1)10 >= m >= 7 2) m = 7, n = 6 is one solution (see (1)) 3) If m = 8 (10! / 8!) = 9 * 10 isn't factorial of any number 0! = 1 1! = 1 2! = 2 3! = 6 4! = 24 5! = 120 4) if m = 9 10! / 9! = 10 - no solution too 5) if m = 10 10! / 10! = 1 => n = 0 or n = 1 All solutions are (m >= n) m = 10, n = 0 => mn =0 m = 10, n = 1 => mn = 10 m = 7, n = 6 => mn = 42

10! contains 7 exactly once, so m, assuming that it is the larger number, must be at least 7. 10! contains 5 exactly twice, so n must be at least 5. Thus you can start the procedure immediately at 7! and 5!.

I solved the problem a different way: Start letting n=9! but 10 is not m! then try 10*9=90 is not m! either. Then try 10*9*8=720=6! Thus n=7 and m=6 (or vice-versa) --> m*n = 6*7 = 42

A very incomplete solution, there are a total of 6 solutions: n=0, m=10 n=1, m=10 n=6, m=7 And their symmetric opposites. Additionally, even if you add the restriction that the numbers should start at 2 and that (without loss of generality) n

@@PrimeNewtons No, you have the three solutions I wrote, and I added "their symmetric opposites". That's a total of 6 solutions. If you want a full list here it is: n=0, m=10 n=10, m=0 n=1, m=10 n=10, m=1 n=6, m=7 n=7, m=6 Additionally, one needs to prove that these are the only solutions.

Solution: First, m and n are interchangeable, there there are always solution pairs. m!n! = 10! |:n! m! = 10!/n! if n! = 1, which is the case if n = 0 or n = 1, then we get m! = 10! m = 10 First two solution pairs are 0|10 and 1|10 m * (m - 1) * (m - 2) * ... * 1 = 10 * 9 * ... * (n + 1) Left side: 1! = 1 2! = 2 3! = 6 4! = 24 5! = 120 6! = 720 7! = 5040 Right side: 10!/8! = 10 * 9 = 90 10!/7! = 10 * 9 * 8 = 720 10!/6! = 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 = 5040 Therefore a third solution pair exists at 6|7 In total, we have: m, n = {0, 10 | 1, 10 | 6, 7 | 7, 6 | 10, 1 | 10, 0 }

I started looking at the high numbers and then seeing which set made a factorial number. 10 is not a factorial number, 10 x 9 is 90 and not a factorial. 10 x 9 x 8 is 720 and that is a factorial. So m is 7, and n! makes 720, so n is 6. m x n is 42.
