Google has introduced a new calculator (http://www.google.com/help/features.html#calculator) facility for their search engine.
Quite magnificent and really, really useful as it is not "just a calculator" but a calculator able to perform a huge number of look-ups and conversions.
The above number happens to be the largest number for which the calculator yields a factorial, i.e.

170.62437695630272579 ! = 1.79769313 × 10308
170.62437695630272579999999 ! = 1.79769313 × 10308

170.6243769563027258 ! = Your search - 170.6243769563027258 ! - did not match any documents.
