The basic problem \(B_y=x!\) has only the one nontrivial solution \(B_2=6=3!\), but it is a direct consequence of a theorem of F. Luca. The more difficult problem \(B_y=x_2!/x_1!\) is still open, but we solve it under different conditions. Two related problems are also studied %K Factorials %K balancing numbers %K diophantine equation %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=292563
