#why does this calculation return error on calculator and smartphone?

probably because 300 factorial is an absurdly large number and I don't think your calculator app will bother solving it

Ok thanks

The result is probably not that huge, the calculator just isnt that smart to simplify that expression before calculating it
I would try e.g. wolfram alpha
,w calc (300! / (25! * 275!)) * (2^25 * 3^275 / 5^300)

we don't know if wolfram simplifies it to solve it

thats so easy bro

If Wolframs devs are somewhat good they at least tell it to not calculate the entire product of 300!
They'd make it so that it (if not in a better way) only takes the product of 300!÷275!

Wolfram can not only calculate expressions, but also simplify them. So it would be really stupid to not apply this already implemented technique to calculations
