**Old Japanese Numbers**, which is the ancestor to the *Wago* numbers of modern Japanese. It gave way to Middle Chinese Loanwords as plain counting numbers, and is tied to some limited situations, like some specific classifiers (eg 一粒<pitətubu 'one grain') or preserved in some specific sayings (eg 八百万の神 < japəjərəndu '8 million' + nə '<sub>POSS</sub>'+ kamwi 'god(s)'). Following are two groups of numbers, one being prime factorials and the other the regular integer factorials, in no particular order.

*[prime factorials]: The first 8 terms are: 2, 6, 30, 210, 2310, 30030, 510510, 9699690.
*[integer factorials]: The first 8 terms are: 1, 2, 6, 24, 120, 720, 5040, 40320.
