If I do   5466!   I get a number with a bracket saying 17859 digits.  Okay so now I want to explore that number ....

When I right click and explore.  A little explore window pops up an that's it.  No exploration of the number what-so-ever.  How do I explore that number?

Hello everyone,

I'm having a little trouble getting Maple to return a correct solution.  It's a simple equation, really, involving the relation of the period of an object around the sun and it's semi-major axis.  Specifically this involves Halleys comet.

Given that halleys comet takes 76 years to complete an orbit.

I set

restart;

eq1:=P^2=(4*Pi*a^3)/(G*M);

and convert P to seconds

P:=convert(76,units,year,second);

G:=6.672e-11;

M:=1.99e30;

solve(eq1,a);
