What Is Factorial?
A factorial is displayed by an integer and an exclamation symbol. In math concepts, factorial is a multiplication process of natural numbers .
It multiplies the number by every noreal number that is less than it .
Symbolically, it is listed as "!".
The function is used, among other things, to get the "n" way things can be arranged .
Factorial Formula
To find the factorial of any given number, exchange the exact value for n in the given formulation :
n! = n × (n-1) × (n-2) × (n-3) × ….× 3 × 2 × 1
The expansion of the formula provides numbers to be multiplied with each other to have the factorial of the number.
We can also work out a factorial from the previous one. The factorial of any number is that number replicated the factorial of (that number minus 1).
So the rule is : n! = n × (n−1)!
Example :
72! Factorial =
72 x 71 x 70 x 69 x ... x 3 x 2 x 1 =
72 × 71! =
