How to calculate the factorial of 0
To find 0 factorial, or 0!, simply use the formula that multiplies the number 0 by all positive whole numbers less than it.
Let's look at how to calculate the Factorial of Zero :
0! is exactly : 1
The number of trailing zeros in 0! is 0
The number of digits in 0 factorial is 1.

What Is Factorial?
A factorial is showed by an integer and an exclamation tag. In Mathematics, factorial is a multiplication process of natural numbers .
It multiplies the number by every basic number that is less than it .
Symbolically, it is listed as "!".
The function is used, among other things, to get the "n" way elements can be arranged .
Factorial Formula
To find the factorial of any given number, change the value for n in the given rule :
n! = n × (n-1) × (n-2) × (n-3) × ….× 3 × 2 × 1
The expansion of the formula provides the numbers to be replicated together to find the factorial of the number.
We can also determine a factorial from the prior one. The factorial of any number is that number multiplied the factorial of (that number minus 1).
So the rule is : n! = n × (n−1)!
Example :
0! Factorial =
=
0 × -1! =
1
What are Factorials Used For?
The best use of factorial is in Combinations and Permutations.
Example : Determine how to arrange letters without repeating?
There one way for 1 letter "a":
2 ways for two letters "ab": ab, ba.
There are 6 ways for 3 letters "abc": abc acb cab bac bca.
There are 24 ways for 1234 of the letters "abcd"
