We compute the approximate cross section σn(0) for producing n−2 {\it resolved} gluons in a gluon-gluon collision, using the Parke-Taylor formula regularized in a Lorentz invariant manner. We find, in double leading logarithm approximation, that σn(0)≈s1(2π12Ncαsln2(s/scut))n−2, where scut is the minimum invariant mass for a resolved gluon pair. There is no factor of 1/(n−2)! multiplying the expression. We present additional numerical results, and comment on their implications for perturbative calculations of n-jet cross sections at colliders.
