Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES:
Income taxes consist of current and deferred tax expense resulting from income earned in domestic and international jurisdictions. The effective tax rates for the three months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023 were impacted by the geographic mix of worldwide income and certain discrete items.
The liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $88,948 and $87,939 at February 29, 2024 and November 30, 2023, respectively, and is included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. As of February 29, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would affect income tax expense if recognized in the consolidated financial statements was $59,724 and $52,779, respectively. This amount includes net interest and penalties of $9,258 and $8,617 for the respective periods. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease between approximately $46,865 and $47,383 in the next twelve months; however, actual developments in this area could differ from those currently expected.
