! is factorial

Solution:
1! = 1
2! = 1x2 = 2
3! = 1x2x3 = 6
4! = 1x2x3x4 = 24

We can also write it as below :

4! = 4(4-1)! = 4(3)! = 4(6) = 24
3! = 3(3-1)! = 3(2)! = 3(2) = 6

In the above the number (whose factorial is to be calculated) is being multiplied by the factorial of the number below it.
and hence we get its factorial, above is pretty obvious.

Now the main thing is that we can also make a formulae for the step above:

n! = n(n-1)!

Factorial of 1 is 1

So

1! = 1(1-1)!
1! = 1(0!)

1 = 0! <<< Proved

Factorial of a number is that it is multiplied by all the numbers below it

factorial of 7 would be 7x6x5x4x3x2x1
so instead of writing all this we simply write 7!

In probability theory, a! is the number of permutations for a number of a objects
Its also in binomial
