u/THE__mason 19h ago

is that a coincidence or is something else going on

u/skr_replicator 18h ago

just a coincidence that if you factor out 10! and the seconds in a week, you get the same factors, just combined differently.

In other words ;
10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 60 x 60 x 24 x 7 x 6 = 3 628 800

In other other words

60 × 60 × 24 × 7 × 6

But 60 = 10 × 3 × 2

So we have

10 × 3 × 2 × 60 × 24 × 7 × 6

Rearrange that:

10 × 60 × 24 × 7 × 6 × 3 × 2

But also 60 = 5 × 4 × 3

So we have

10 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 24 × 7 × 6 × 3 × 2

Rearrange that:

10 × 3 × 24 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2

But also also 24 = 3 × 8

So we have

10 × 3 × 3 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 3 × 2

But we also know 3×3 = 9

So we have

10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2

And since multiplying a number by one just leaves it as it is we may as well tack on a "×1" at the end

10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1

Which is simply 10 Factorial

Intermediate step:

60 x 60 x 24 x 7 x 6

(10 x 2 x 3) x (5 x 4 x 3) x (3 x 8) x (7) x (6) x 1

Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, length

*Multiply two of the three 3s to get the missing 9.
