f# stackoverflow project euler #4

Question

I\'m working on problem four of Project Euler and am running into a stackoverflow exception. I\'m not asking for help on solving the problem, I\'d just like it explained

Answer 1

I can't read F# and don't know if your problem is related to this but especially if you're doing something recursive avoid checking for equality to a number, instead try to check for a threshold. For example, instead of testing n = 0, test n <= 0.
