# --description--
Let $n$ be a positive integer. An integer triple ($a$, $b$, $c$) is called a factorisation triple of $n$ if:
- $1 ≤ a ≤ b ≤ c$
- $a \times b \times c = n$.
Define $f(n)$ to be $a + b + c$ for the factorisation triple ($a$, $b$, $c$) of $n$ which minimises $\frac{c}{a}$. One can show that this triple is unique.
For example, $f(165) = 19$, $f(100\\,100) = 142$ and $f(20!) = 4\\,034\\,872$.
Find $f(43!)$.
# --hints--
`factorisationTriples()` should return `1177163565297340400`.
```js
assert.strictEqual(factorisationTriples(), 1177163565297340400);
```
# --seed--

}
factorisationTriples();
```
# --solutions--
```js
// solution required
