What Is Factorial?
A factorial is displayed by an integer and an exclamation mark. In math concepts, factorial is a multiplication operation of natural numbers .
It multiplies the number by every basic number that is less than it .
Symbolically, it is showed 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 exact value for n in the given formula :
n! = n × (n-1) × (n-2) × (n-3) × ….× 3 × 2 × 1
The expansion of the formula provides the numbers to be replicated at the same time to get the factorial of the number.
We can also work out a factorial from the previous 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 :
14! Factorial =
14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x ... x 3 x 2 x 1 =
14 × 13! =
