RE: Possible bug on HP50G with very large numbers
Using this algorithm for lngamma, my 48 returns 570.1235 for lngamma(283)/ln(10), and 572.5753 for lngamma(284)/ln(10). I do believe you have found something fishy going on.

I don't have my 50g handy; does LOG top out at 569 if you keep doing larger and larger factorials?
