hello guys its puneet
The factorial function (symbol: !) just means to multiply a series of descending natural numbers. Examples:
| |
Note: it is generally agreed that 0! = 1. It may seem funny that multiplying no numbers together gets you 1, but it helps simplify a lot of equations. |
FORMULA IS
where n is the number of things to choose from, and you choose r of them (No repetition, order matters) |
Our "order of 3 out of 16 pool balls example" would be:
16! | = | 16! | = | 20,922,789,888,000 | = 3,360 |
(16-3)! | 13! | 6,227,020,800 |
(which is just the same as: 16 × 15 × 14 = 3,360)
How many ways can first and second place be awarded to 10 people?
10! | = | 10! | = | 3,628,800 | = 90 |
(10-2)! | 8! | 40,320 |
(which is just the same as: 10 × 9 = 90)
