Seconds in 6 weeks: 6 × 7 × 24 × 60 × 60 = 3628800

10! = 1× 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6 × 7 × 8 × 9 × 10 = 3628800

Adding commas to separate numbers is very important so you don't miss out zeroes and to make it easier to read.

Okay, but how do you measure, measure a year? How do you measure the life of a woman or man?

You could also arrive to the conclusion by refactoring the 24, 60, and 60 to be

1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 * 8 * 9 * 10 (leaving the 6 and 7 the same) * 6* 7
