What is factorial of 1?

Definition of factorial of 1

The factorial is a basically a quantity which is defined for integer value 1 which is greater than or equal to 0.

The factorial is nothing but the product of all intergers which is less than or equal to n but it is greater than or equal to 1. By definition we can say that the factorial value of 0 is equal to 1. We can not have negative integers factorial as defined. We can see that factorial is the result of multiplying a sequence of descending natural numbers. We can say that factorial of 1 is calculated as 1 X

Factorial Formula for 1

For 1 is natural number which is greater than or equal to 1. Then we can have the formula as

Factorial examples

Example 1:-

What is the factorial of 2?

Solution :-

We know that factorial formula for 2 is
2! = 2 × (2-1) X (2-2) ..... 2 X 1

So the factorial of 2 is

2! = 2 X (2-1) X (2-2)

2! = 2 X 1

2! = 2

Example 2:-

What is the factorial of 3?

Solution :-

We know that factorial formula for 2 is
3! = 3 × (3-1) X (3-2) X (3-3) ..... 3 X 2 X 1

So the factorial of 3 is

3! = 3 X (3-1) X (3-2) X (3-3)

3! = 3 X 2 X 1

3! = 6

Example 3:-

What is the factorial of 4?

Solution :-

We know that factorial formula for 4 is
4! = 4 × (4-1) X (4-2) X (4-3) X (4-4) ..... 4 X 3 X 2 X 1

So the factorial of 4 is

4! = 4 X (4-1) X (4-2) X (4-3) X (4-4)

4! = 4 X 3 X 2 X 1

4! = 24
