What Is Factorial?
A factorial is displayed by an integer and an exclamation mark. In Mathematics, 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 find the "n" way objects can be structured .
Factorial Formula
To find the factorial of any given number, replace the value for n in the given rule :
n! = n × (n-1) × (n-2) × (n-3) × ….× 3 × 2 × 1
The expansion of the formula provides numbers to be replicated collectively to receive the factorial of the number.
We can also work 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 :
60! Factorial =
60 x 59 x 58 x 57 x ... x 3 x 2 x 1 =
60 × 59! =
