The base factorions are integers that are equal to the sum of the factorials of their base digits. For example, 145 is a factorion in decimal, since 1! + 4! + 5! = 1 + 24 + 120 = 145. 1 and 2 are factorions in all conventional bases . Remember that 0! = 1, not 0, and therefore in binary 1! + 0! = 1 + 1 = 2. Likewise, 24 is not a factorion in base 6, since 4! + 0! = 24 + 1 = 25 (but 25 and 26 are).

The maximum possible sum of factorials of digits for a number having digits in base is . Thus there is a maximum value of such that holds true, and therefore the total number of factorions in a given base is finite.
