Factorial

In mathematics, the factorial of a non-negative integer n {\displaystyle n} , denoted by n ! {\displaystyle n!} , is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to n {\displaystyle n} . The factorial of n {\displaystyle n} also equals the product of n {\displaystyle n} with the next smaller factorial: n ! = n × ( n − 1 ) × ( n − 2 ) × ( n − 3…
