What Is Factorial?
A factorial is represented by an integer and an exclamation mark. In Mathematics, factorial is a multiplication process of natural numbers .
It multiplies the number by every natural number that is less than it .
Symbolically, it is symbolized 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 equation :
n! = n × (n-1) × (n-2) × (n-3) × ….× 3 × 2 × 1
The expansion of the formula provides numbers to be multiplied together with each other to receive 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 :
87! Factorial =
87 x 86 x 85 x 84 x ... x 3 x 2 x 1 =
87 × 86! =
