Hint: first calculate the increase in entropy (the isothermal expression is a very reasonable approximation) then use the connection between entropy and microstates.
(Most calculators will fail to cope with factorials above 69, as the power of ten exceeds 100.
For you can use use the most accurate form of Stirling's
approximation,
, or you can stick to
in the range
35 to 65 since
is very small outside that range. Either way you will
still have to do some cancellation by hand and enter large and small terms alternately!)
