What Is Factorial?
A factorial is represented by an integer and an exclamation tag. In Mathematics, factorial is a multiplication function 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 items can be determined .
Factorial Formula
To find the factorial of any given number, replace the exact value for n in the given formulation :
n! = n × (n-1) × (n-2) × (n-3) × ….× 3 × 2 × 1
The expansion of the formula provides the numbers to be multiplied with each other to receive 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 :
3! Factorial =
3 x 2 x 1 =
3 × 2! =
6
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"
