FACT

FACT(number)

Returns the factorial of a positive whole number.

number

The number you want the factorial of.

REMARKS

* The factorial of a number is equal to 1*2*3* ... "number".
* n! = n*(n-1)*(n-2)...(2)(1)
* The factorial of 0 is 1.
* If "number" < 0, then #NUM! is returned.
* If "number" is not an integer, it is truncated.
* If "number" is not numeric, then #VALUE! is returned.
* You can use the COMBIN function to return the number of combinations for a given number of items (with repetition).
* You can use the FACTDOUBLE function to return the double factorial of a positive whole number.
* You can use the GAMMA function to return the gamma function value.
* You can use the MULTINOMIAL function to return the number of permutations for a given number of items (with duplicates).
