What Is Factorial?

A factorial is represented by an integer and an exclamation mark. In Mathematics, factorial is a multiplication procedure of natural numbers .

It multiplies the number by every natural number that is less than it .

Symbolically, it is listed as "!".

The function is used, among other things, to get the "n" way pieces can be arranged .

Factorial Formula

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

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

The expansion of the formula provides the numbers to be replicated with each other 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 times the factorial of (that number minus 1).

So the rule is : n! = n × (n−1)!

Example :
47! Factorial = 47 x 46 x 45 x 44 x ... x 3 x 2 x 1 = 47 × 46! = 258623241511168180642964355153611979969197632389120000000000

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"
