Chapter 13, Problem 6SGR

To determine

Find whether the statement, “ $6!=6\cdot 5\cdot 4\cdot 3\cdot 2\cdot 1$ is an example of factorial” is true or false.

Answer to Problem 6SGR

The statement is true.

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The given statement is, “ $6!=6\cdot 5\cdot 4\cdot 3\cdot 2\cdot 1$ is an example of factorial.”

Calculation: The given statement is true because the factorial of a number $\left(n\right)$ is written as,

  $n!=n\left(n-1\right)\left(n-2\right)\left(n-3\right)\mathrm{.......}\left(3\right)\left(2\right)\left(1\right)$ where $\left(n\right)$ is a whole number. Hence the given statement is true.
