Factorials Practice-Miranda R.12B

1. Factorials are defined as the multiplication of consecutive positive integers from a given number down to 1. 2. Examples of factorial expressions are given such as 6! = 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 and 8! = 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1. 3. A matching exercise tests simplifying factorial expressions such as 14! = 87178291200 and identifying equivalences like 52! = 52.

Factorials

1. How n!, the factorial of a number can be defined?


A factorial is a countdown from the given number until 1.

2. Express in factorial form:

a) 6x5x4x3x2x1 = 6!
b) 8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1 = 8!
c) 3x2x1 = 3!
d) 9x8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1 = 9!

3. Match each expression on the left with an equivalent expression on the right.

Letter
A 14 ! 1
C 10100
13!
B 52! 2
F 6!
51!
C 101! 3
99!
B 52

D 20 × 19! E 4 10!
E 90 × 8! A 5 14
F 30 × 4! D 6 20!

4. Determine the value for each expression. Simplify fully before using a calculator.
