I don't think you meant 10 factorial, so I'll just assume you meant 10 seconds.

1 week is equivalent to 7 days
1 day is equivalent to 24 hours
1 hour is equivalent to 60 minutes
1 minute is equivalent to 60 seconds



But 1 week = 10(60480) seconds and if divided by 60480, we get

Now there are seconds in a week (that is 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week).

So:



Now cancel as many common factors as you can and you should be left with something easy to evaluate.

Thank you very much. Explained beautifully.
