How to evaluate large factorials

In Mathematica I could easily evaluate factorials, including large ones like 1000!

But in Matlab I can only evaluate up to 170!, because any number beyond that is greater than realmax, so the program gives me back infinity.

In another topic a user suggested that I should use the symbolic toolbox in this case.

My question is, how I do that? Is there any alternative way?

syms n
subs(n*factorial(n-1),1000)

Getting the following in between numbers:

   \\\r\n

[Walter Roberson]

You can char() the result and delete those \ and r and n characters.

The characters are caused by a bug in the Symbolic Toolbox in your release.
