    Did you try the code ? It's working fine ( no overflow ) but it's also limited. I didn't say that it's not. I wanted to write a code which calculates the factorial of 1000 but it's also working for greater values. The vector can hold a result with more than 10.000 digits , but it's limited.

    First i told you to store in vector too much overhead and second thing storing has some limit!!! But you know today In Statistical Software factorial of very big number is required. So on that case, By any way you have to go for sterling Approximation formula.

    I got the solution for any Big number!!! This code is very efficient and optimized implemented by limked list..
    Code:
    class Link
    {
    //Data Member Parts
    private:
     int dta;
     Link *nxt;
     Link *prv;
     Link *hd;
     Link *rear;
    
    // Function Member Parts
    
    public:
     Link(const int& tmp)  :dta(tmp),hd(NULL),rear(NULL),prv(NULL),nxt(NULL)
    {
              ;
    }
     Link* NxtLnk()   //getting next node
    {
        return nxt;
    }
    
     Link* PrvLnk()  //getting previous node
    {
      return prv;
    }
     void ExtraInsert(Link* p);          // After Inserting
     int getDta(void)
    {
       return dta;
    }
     void SetDta(int temp)
    {
       dta = temp;
    }
     int GetNoOfElem();
     Link* ToHead();
     Link* ToRear();
     void DeleteMe(void);
     void ClearAll(void);
    };
    
    
    int Link::GetNoOfElem()
    {
     int count = 0;
     Link* p =ToHead();
    
     while(p->NxtLnk()!=NULL){
      count++;
      p = p->NxtLnk();
     }
    
     count++;
     return count;
    }
    
    void Link::ExtraInsert(Link* p)
    {
     //    Link* p;
     if(prv == NULL) { hd = this;}
     p->nxt = nxt;
     p->prv = this;
     nxt = p;
     if(p->nxt == NULL){rear = p;}
    };
    
    
    
    Link* Link::ToHead()
    {
     if(hd == this){ //this is the first node
      return this;
     }
    
     Link *p = this;
     while(p->prv != NULL){
      p = p->prv;
     }
    
     return p;
    }
    
    Link* Link::ToRear()
    {
     if(rear == this){
      return this;
     }
    
     Link *p = this;
     while(p->nxt != NULL){
      p = p->nxt;
     }
    
     return p;
    }
    
    
    
    //***** Start ************//
    void Link::DeleteMe(void)
    {
     if(prv == NULL) // First Element
    {
      nxt->prv = NULL;
      hd = nxt;  // Next will be first one
      delete this;
