If we multiply the first four primes we get 30. If we multiply 30 times 7,11 and 13 we have 30 x 1001 or 30,030 and we have used the first seven primes. We can be intuitive about the eighth prime because the octave seems to be so important. The eighth prime is 17 and if we multiply 30,030 by 17 we arrive at a fantastically simple number: 510,510. This is what I call an FS!ICQ which stands for Fuller’s Sublimely Rememberable Comprehensive Quotient. I can remember the first eight primes factorial-- 510,510!.. It is a fantastically big number yet I am able to remember it. When nature gives us a number we can remember it is a pretty extraordinary affair.
If we take the first seven primes factorial to the fifth power we arrive at a sextillion number. A pattern emerges in the construction of this number and it looks like this:
3^5, then 5x3^5, 5x3^5, 3^5 and then five 0’s.
The number is 24,421,743,243,121,524,300,000.
