What Is Factorial?
A factorial is represented by an integer and an exclamation tag. In math concepts, factorial is a multiplication procedure of natural numbers .
It multiplies the number by every organic number that is less than it .
Symbolically, it is showed 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 provides numbers to be multiplied together 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 replicated the factorial of (that number minus 1).
So the rule is : n! = n × (n−1)!
Example :
78! Factorial =
78 x 77 x 76 x 75 x ... x 3 x 2 x 1 =
78 × 77! =
