What Is Factorial?
A factorial is displayed by an integer and an exclamation symbol. In math concepts, factorial is a multiplication treatment of natural numbers .
It multiplies the number by every natural number that is less than it .
Symbolically, it is listed as "!".
The function is used, among other things, to find the "n" way objects can be organized .
Factorial Formula
To find the factorial of any given number, replace the value for n in the given equation :
n! = n × (n-1) × (n-2) × (n-3) × ….× 3 × 2 × 1
The expansion of the formula provides numbers to be multiplied collectively to get the factorial of the number.
We can also figure 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 :
86! Factorial =
86 x 85 x 84 x 83 x ... x 3 x 2 x 1 =
86 × 85! =
