What Is Factorial?
A factorial is represented by an integer and an exclamation mark. In arithmetic, factorial is a multiplication process of natural numbers .
It multiplies the number by every organic number that is less than it .
Symbolically, it is represented as "!".
The function is used, among other things, to get the "n" way items can be determined .
Factorial Formula
To find the factorial of any given number, replace the value for n in the given solution :
n! = n × (n-1) × (n-2) × (n-3) × ….× 3 × 2 × 1
The expansion of the formula provides the numbers to be multiplied to each other to have the factorial of the number.
We can also work out a factorial from the previous one. The factorial of any number is that number replicated the factorial of (that number minus 1).
So the rule is : n! = n × (n−1)!
Example :
13! Factorial =
13 x 12 x 11 x 10 x ... x 3 x 2 x 1 =
13 × 12! =
6227020800
