Fast way to calculate n! mod m where m is prime?
问题 I was curious if there was a good way to do this. My current code is something like: def factorialMod(n, modulus): ans=1 for i in range(1,n+1): ans = ans * i % modulus return ans % modulus But it seems quite slow! I also can\'t calculate n! and then apply the prime modulus because sometimes n is so large that n! is just not feasible to calculate explicitly. I also came across http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling%27s_approximation and wonder if this can be used at all here in some way? Or,
