Explore large numbers doesn't work

If I do   5466!   I get a number with a bracket saying 17859 digits.  Okay so now I want to explore that number ....

When I right click and explore.  A little explore window pops up an that's it.  No exploration of the number what-so-ever.  How do I explore that number?

Click on the Tools tab.  Then click on Options...  Select the Precision tab.  Change the Threshold value to something greater than 17859.  Then click on Apply to session.  Re-execute the worksheet and see what happens.

If you do not want to do it that way, you can right click on the number that gets displayed, then select "Numeric Formatting..."  Then select "Fixed" and then click on Apply Formatting.  You can change Decimal Places to 0 if you like, otherwise you will get the default of two decimal numbers.
