<< Still the most beautiful is
  1000 factorial / 999 factorial >>

That is cute. 

Impressive is the speed of computation (thanks partially to Stephan and 
LargeIntegersPlugin). If you look at the intermediate results, the time to 
display 1000 factorial and 999 factorial dwarfs the speed of just performing 
the computation and displaying only the final result.
