What Is a Factorial Calculator?
The online factorial calculator helps you quickly compute the factorial (n!) of any non-negative integer. The factorial is the product of all integers from 1 up to that number, e.g., 5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120.
Factorial Formulas
- Basic definition: for a positive integer n, n! = n × (n-1) × (n-2) × ... × 2 × 1
- Recursive definition: n! = 1 (when n = 0 or n = 1); n! = n × (n-1)! (when n > 1)
- By convention, 0! = 1.
How to Use the Factorial Calculator?
- Enter the non-negative integer (0 - 170) you want to compute in the "Number" input box.
- Click the "Calculate" button, or press Enter on your keyboard.
- The result is shown in the "Output" box in the format "n! = result".
Notes
- The maximum supported value is 170!; beyond that, the value exceeds JavaScript\'s representable range.
- The input must be an integer; decimals or text are not accepted.
