What Is Factorial?

A factorial is represented by an integer and an exclamation mark. In arithmetic, factorial is a multiplication process 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 get the "n" way items can be organized .

Factorial Formula

To find the factorial of any given number, exchange the value for n in the given rule :

n! = n × (n-1) × (n-2) × (n-3) × ….× 3 × 2 × 1

The expansion of the formula gives the numbers to be replicated collectively to get the factorial of the number.

We can also figure out a factorial from the prior 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 :
46! Factorial = 46 x 45 x 44 x 43 x ... x 3 x 2 x 1 = 46 × 45! = 5502622159812088949850305428800254892961651752960000000000

What are Factorials Used For?
