How to represent a large factorial in Scientific Form

I have a very large factorial, 438! which renders in the notebook as a very long number, naturally. I tried to display it in ScientificForm and get the same output. How can I get it to express as n x 10^(large exponent)?

One way is to just convert this number to a numerical expression:

N@Factorial@438 (* returns 2.914653584368574*10^968 *)
