I am not sure whether approximations are OK for your case. But if it is, have you thought about Stirling's approx and Gosper's approx for factorials?

    As I understand the FET, it is important that the probabilities add up to 1.


    Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
    Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?
    "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
    The "good enough" maybe good enough for the now, and perfection maybe unobtainable, but that should not preclude us from striving for perfection, when time, circumstance or desire allow.
