    I m using Turbo c and have implemented a code for finding factorial of a number using link list.
    The actual problem was to 123456!.
    My program seems to be correct but it gives correct results upto 63! and then the result becomes zero for further factorials.

    The following program multiplies the nos only 63 times 64th time the whole result becomes 0.

    I think it is due shortage of memory. Is there any solution for that.

    Code:
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<conio.h>
    /*
    This program is working good for finding factorial upto 63
    The error is it can multiply 63 times and then the list becomes 0
    Eg.If we want to find 111!
    it can find 100*99*98.....upto 56
    and when it multiplies the result to next no. i.e. 55,
    the whole result becomes 0
