Could you write a function that tells us that "120" is "5!"? + +Hint: The strategy is pretty straightforward, just divide the term by successively larger terms until you get to "1" as the resultant: + + 120 -> 120/2 -> 60/3 -> 20/4 -> 5/5 -> 1 => 5! + +# Sample Input + +You'll be given a single integer, one per line.
