What Is Factorial?
A factorial is symbolized by an integer and an exclamation mark. In arithmetic, factorial is a multiplication process of natural numbers .
It multiplies the number by every organic number that is less than it .
Symbolically, it is represented as "!".
The function is used, among other things, to find the "n" way items can be arranged .
Factorial Formula
To find the factorial of any given number, substitute the value for n in the given formula :
n! = n × (n-1) × (n-2) × (n-3) × ….× 3 × 2 × 1
The expansion of the formula shows the numbers to be replicated together to find 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 :
6! Factorial =
6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 =
6 × 5! =
720
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.
