What Is Factorial?
A factorial is represented by an integer and an exclamation tag. In arithmetic, factorial is a multiplication operation of natural numbers .
It multiplies the number by every natural number that is less than it .
Symbolically, it is displayed as "!".
The function is used, among other things, to get the "n" way pieces can be established .
Factorial Formula
To find the factorial of any given number, exchange the exact value for n in the given way :
n! = n × (n-1) × (n-2) × (n-3) × ….× 3 × 2 × 1
The expansion of the formula gives the numbers to be replicated at the same time to find the factorial of the number.
We can also measure 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 :
40! Factorial =
40 x 39 x 38 x 37 x ... x 3 x 2 x 1 =
40 × 39! =
