To Find The factorial of 100

Step-by-step explanation

We know that if n be a number, then its factorial is given by

n! = n × (n – 1) × (n – 2) × (n – 3) × … … × 1

 

Here our given number is 100. Thus taking n = 100, we get

100! = 100 × (100 – 1) × (100 – 2) × (100 – 3) × … … × 1

= 100 × 99 × 98 × 97 × … … × 1

= 933262154439441526816992388562667004907159682643816214
6859296389521759
9993229915608941463961565182862536979208
27223758251185210916864000000000000000000000000

The aproximate value of 100! is 9.3326215443944E+157.

The number of trailing zeros in 100! is 24.

The number of digits in 100 factorial is 158.

Let us find the factorial of a smaller number. Say, n = 4. Then 4! = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 24.

 

Definition of Factorial

A factorial is a number that can be calculated for any integer n that is greater than or equal to 0.

The factorial is the sum of all numbers less than or equal to n but greater than or equal to 1. By definition, the factorial value of 0 is 1. Factorials are not defined for numbers that are less than zero. The factorial is what you get when you multiply a series of natural numbers that go down, like 3 × 2 × 1.

The factorial symbol is the exclamation mark !

The factorial formula

If n is a natural number greater than or equal to 1, then

n! = n x (n – 1) x (n – 2) x (n – 3) … 3 x 2 x 1

If n = 0, then n! = 1, by convention.
