Thanks to those who suggested (1)Maple, (2) python (compact!), (3) bc

applescript" exercise I took a crack at doing it the "old fashioned
way" (aka, the hard way) by mimicking long-form multiplication on two
arbitrary lists of base-10 digits. I'm happy to say that they all
agree (and if anyone wants an (almost completely genericized) integer
product routine for any size integer, email me. It's not very pretty,
but it works).
My suggestion is that you should let your daughter do her own homework.
Going through the process of discovering the above was probably the
point of the exercise; there's no other reason to assign 20! versus,
say, 6!.
