Solve Algebraical.ly $0.5=\dfrac{365!}{365^{n}(365-n)!} $ How does one go about solving this equation? Not sure how to approach this as no factorials will cancel out. Im sorry I meant $\dfrac{365!}{365^{n}(365-n)!}=0.5$. 
 A: It has no solution: $\dfrac{365!}{n!(365-n)!}=\dbinom{365}n$, the number of subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,365\}$ of cardinality $n$, which is always an integer.
Added: This answer applies to the original version of the question.
A: We usually solve this equation numerically:
$$a_n=\frac{365!}{365^n(365-n)!}$$
Hence $a_1=1$ and $$a_{n+1}=a_n.\frac{365-n}{365}$$
If you want to solve $a_n=p$, just do a little program that computes $a_n$ from $a_1$ by multiplying at each step by $\frac{365-n}{365}$ until you find $p$.
Here $$a_{23}=0.4927027656$$

Result:

A: Suppose that you want to solve in the real domain the equation
$$\frac {x!}{x^n (x-y)!}=\frac 12$$ take logarithm to make
$$\log(x!)-y \log(x)-\log[(x-y)!]=-\log(2)$$ Using twice Stirling approximation for large values of $x$, we have
$$-\log(2)=-\frac{(y-1) y}{2 x}+O\left(\frac{1}{x^2}\right)$$ Ignoring the higher order terms and making $x=365$ gives
$$y(y-1)=730\log(2\quad \implies \quad y=\frac{1}{2} \left(1+\sqrt{1+2920 \log (2)}\right)=22.999943$$
