Abstract
In this paper we focus on finding all the factorials expressible as a product of a fixed number of -nacci numbers with . We derive the 2-adic valuation of the -nacci sequence and use it to establish bounds on the solutions of the initial equation. In addition, we specify a more general family of sequences, for which we can perform a similar procedure. We also investigate a possible connection of these results with -regular sequences.
