Let's look at how to calculate the Factorial of Seven :

  7! is exactly : 5040

  Factorial of 7 can be calculated as:
7! = 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

  The number of trailing zeros in 7! is 1

  The number of digits in 7 factorial is 4.

What Is Factorial?

A factorial is symbolized by an integer and an exclamation symbol. In Mathematics, factorial is a multiplication operation 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 things can be structured .

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 gives the numbers to be multiplied collectively to get the factorial of the number.

We can also determine a factorial from the prior 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 :
7! Factorial = 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 7 × 6! = 5040

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"
