What is the factorial

Definition of factorial

The factorial is a quantity defined for any integer n greater than or equal to 0.

The factorial is the product of all integers less than or equal to n but greater than or equal to 1. The factorial value of 0 is by definition equal to 1. For negative integers, factorials are not defined. The factorial can be seen as the result of multiplying a sequence of descending natural numbers (such as 3 × 2 × 1).

The factorial symbol is the exclamation mark !.

The factorial formula

If n is a natural number greater than or equal to 1, then

n! = n x (n – 1) x (n – 2) x (n – 3) … 3 x 2 x 1

If n = 0, then n! = 1, by convention.

Example: 7! = 7 x 6 x 5 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 1260

Step-by-step explanation

We know that if n be a number, then its factorial is given by

n! = n × (n – 1) × (n – 2) × (n – 3) × … … × 1

Here our given number is 100. Thus taking n = 100, we get

100! = 100 × (100 – 1) × (100 – 2) × (100 – 3) × … … × 1

= 100 × 99 × 98 × 97 × … … × 1

= 93326215443944152681699238856266700490715968264381621468592963895217599993229915608941463976156518286253697920827223758251185210916864000000000000000000000000

Let us find the factorial of a smaller number. Say, n = 4. Then 4! = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 24.
