What Is Factorial?
A factorial is showed by an integer and an exclamation mark. In Mathematics, factorial is a multiplication operation of natural numbers .
It multiplies the number by every standard number that is less than it .
Symbolically, it is listed as "!".
The function is used, among other things, to find the "n" way objects can be established .
Factorial Formula
To find the factorial of any given number, alternate the value for n in the given formula :
n! = n × (n-1) × (n-2) × (n-3) × ….× 3 × 2 × 1
The expansion of the formula provides numbers to be multiplied collectively 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 times the factorial of (that number minus 1).
So the rule is : n! = n × (n−1)!
Example :
23! Factorial =
23 x 22 x 21 x 20 x ... x 3 x 2 x 1 =
23 × 22! =
