It's really very simple.
I posted comments in the Mathschallenge forum.

Probably the most difficult part is the tail-recursive while loop:

  do_verb ^: while_cond ^:_ initial_arg

   (<:@{. , */) ^: (1: < {.) ^:_ ] 4 1
1 24
   !4
24

with 2-item argument list it can be dyadicised

   (<:@[ , *) ^: (> 1:)/ ^:_ ] 4 1
24
