Permutations of a list of numbers
The number of permutations typically increases factorially. Since 3! = 6, 4! = 24, 5! = 120, 6! = 720, 7! = 5040, 8! = 40,320, 9! = 362,880, 10! = 3,628,800, 11! = 39,916,800, 12! = 479,001,600.

You can see that it get very large, very quickly. The output would be similarly huge.

The bottom line is, that past a certain point, there's just no way to keep the entire set in memory. A couple of numbers later, you wouldn't be able to afford a disk drive large enough to store it. A couple of number after that, there isn't enough paper on the planet to be able to print it. Somewhere in the 30's or 40's, there wouldn't be enough atoms in the entire universe to represent the results in an atomic scale computer.
