What Is Factorial?
A factorial is displayed by an integer and an exclamation tag. In Mathematics, factorial is a multiplication process of natural numbers .
It multiplies the number by every noreal number that is less than it .
Symbolically, it is symbolized 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, exchange the value for n in the given method :
n! = n × (n-1) × (n-2) × (n-3) × ….× 3 × 2 × 1
The expansion of the formula provides numbers to be replicated to each other to have the factorial of the number.
We can also figure out a factorial from the previous one. The factorial of any number is that number multiplied the factorial of (that number minus 1).
So the rule is : n! = n × (n−1)!
Example :
56! Factorial =
56 x 55 x 54 x 53 x ... x 3 x 2 x 1 =
56 × 55! =
