# fastfact [![godoc][godoc-image]][godoc-url]

Few different implementations of the functions to calculate a [factorial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorial) of the given number. Utilizes [math/big](https://golang.org/pkg/math/big/) to calculate factorials of *really* big numbers.

There are also functions which are able to split calculations between [goroutines](https://tour.golang.org/concurrency/1) (workers) and do work concurrently (in parallel at multi-core machines) thus speeding up calculations.

Performance results can be viewed in [benchmarking.md](https://github.com/pavdmyt/fastfact/blob/master/benchmarking.md).

## Installation
