title: Long int too large to convert to float
body: <p>Assuming I have a program with the function</p>
  
  <pre><code>def fakultaet(x):
      if x&gt;1:
          return(x* fakultaet(x-1)) 
      else:
          return(1)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>that returns the factorial of a given number, I need to calculate</p>
  
  <pre><code>1.0/fakultaet(200)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I get an overflow error: <code>long int too large to convert to float</code>.</p>
  
  <p>How can I solve this problem?</p>
