"It is the hallmark of large factorials, that they terminate with lots of zeros.
More interesting yet is that regardless of what radix you convert the factorial
to, providing the radix is not much larger than the factorialized number,
the factorial
will *still* terminate in a lot of zeroes."

I don't see how you find that interesting, it is transparently obvious that
this is the case if you think about it for a moment ...
