What Is Factorial?
A factorial is symbolized by an integer and an exclamation symbol. In arithmetic, factorial is a multiplication procedure of natural numbers .
It multiplies the number by every natural number that is less than it .
Symbolically, it is symbolized as "!".
The function is used, among other things, to get the "n" way elements can be positioned .
Factorial Formula
To find the factorial of any given number, alternate the value for n in the given equation :
n! = n × (n-1) × (n-2) × (n-3) × ….× 3 × 2 × 1
The expansion of the formula provides numbers to be replicated together with each other to find the factorial of the number.
We can also work out a factorial from the prior 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 :
26! Factorial =
26 x 25 x 24 x 23 x ... x 3 x 2 x 1 =
26 × 25! =
