Practice Factorial in Math

Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.

Quick Recap

The factorial of a non-negative integer n, written n!, is the product of all positive integers from 1 to n: n! = n \cdot (n-1) \cdots 2 \cdot 1.

Factorial counts the number of ways to arrange n distinct objects in a row โ€” for 3 items, there are 3! = 6 possible orderings.

Example 1

easy
Compute 7!.

Example 2

medium
Simplify \frac{10!}{8!}.

Example 3

easy
Evaluate \frac{6!}{4! \cdot 2!}.

Example 4

medium
Solve for n: \frac{n!}{(n-2)!} = 30.
