| # --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);
 | |
| ```
