The multinomial function is defined as a ratio of factorial functions, but that is not how it should be computed; it would cause unnecessary overflow. However, the following expression causes a numerical error (#502):
=MULTINOMIAL(1000,0)
The correct mathematical value is just 1 and that was the expected result.
Note that, for example, multinomial(100,0) is computed correctly; the value is 1.
In general the multinomial may be computed as a product of binomials, by recursion on the number of variables.
I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and LibreOffice Calc 3.4.3, OOO340m1 (Build:302). |

3) What is expected to happen in a blank LibreOffice Calc document is when one types in a cell:
=MULTINOMIAL(1000,0)
it returns 1.
4) What happens instead is it returns error (#502).
