COMMENTS

This is essentially the same as A060776; n! is never a perfect square for n>1 so there is always an even number of divisors of n!, so we can list its divisors in increasing order as [d1,d2,...,x,y,...,dk] with x and y the median divisors (A060776 and A060777, respectively). - Nathaniel Johnston, Jun 25 2011

a(27)=104348440350000, a(28)=552160113120000. [From Zak Seidov (zakseidov(AT)yahoo.com), Jul 07 2009]

EXAMPLE

6! = 24*30, with difference of 6.

MAPLE

A061055 := proc(n) local d: d:=numtheory[divisors](n!): return d[nops(d)/2]: end: seq(A061055(n), n=2..15); # Nathaniel Johnston, Jun 25 2011

MATHEMATICA

Do[ With[ {k = Floor[ Sqrt[ x! ] ] - Do[ If[ Mod[ x!, Floor[ Sqrt[ x! ] ] - n ] == 0, Return[ n ] ], {n, 0, 10000000} ]}, Print[ {x, "! =", k, x!/k, x!/k - k} ] ], {x, 3, 22} ]
