About Factorials
A factorial is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to a given number. It is denoted by n! and is fundamental in combinatorics, probability, and algebra.
For example, 5! = 5 Γ 4 Γ 3 Γ 2 Γ 1 = 120. Factorials grow extremely fast - 10! is already over 3 million!
Applications:
- Counting permutations and arrangements
- Probability calculations
- Combinatorial problems
- Series expansions in calculus
Formulas
Factorial:
n! = n Γ (n-1) Γ (n-2) Γ ... Γ 2 Γ 1
0! = 1 (by definition)
Permutation:
nPr = n! / (n-r)!
Combination:
nCr = n! / (r! Γ (n-r)!)
