A243293 Number of factorials < 10^n. 1

%N Number of factorials < 10^n.

%C A181590(150) = 95 does not agree with a(150) = 96.

%C 0! and 1! are the same number so a(n) counts it as 1 number.

%C a(n) is also the number of terms needed in the series Sum_{k=0..m} 1/k! to calculate exp(1) with a precision of at least n - 1 digits, i.e., exp(1) - Sum_{k=0..a(n)}1/k! < 10^(-n). - _Martin Renner_, Feb 18 2020

%H Giovanni Resta, <a href="/A243293/b243293.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>

%e There are 4 factorials < 10^2: 0! = 1! = 1, 2! = 2, 3! = 6, and 4! = 24. Thus a(2) = 4.

%t f=1; t=0; n=10; L={}; While[Length[L] < 100, t++; f*=t; While[f > n, AppendTo[ L, t-1]; n *= 10]]; L (* _Giovanni Resta_, Feb 19 2020 *)

%o (PARI) a(n) = {my(tot=0); for(k=1,10^n,if(k!<10^n,tot++); if(k!>=10^n, break)); return(tot)}

%o n=1; while(n<100,print1(a(n),", "); n++)

%Y Cf. A000142, A181590.
