Digit count of one hundred factorial

Question

How many decimal digits does 100!100! have?

Short answer

158158. The digit count is ⌊log⁡10100!⌋+1\lfloor\log_{10}100!\rfloor+1. Stirling's formula gives log⁡10100!≈157.97\log_{10}100!\approx157.97, so 100!≈9.33×10157100!\approx9.33\times10^{157} has 158158 digits.
