Factorial of a positive integer is the result of the repeated multiplication of all the integers from 1 till that considered integer.
Thus, if we want to take the factorial of 'n',(n being a positive integer), then:
[tex]n! = 1 \times 2 \times \cdots \times (n-1) \times n[/tex]
Four students, Kaylee, Xavier, Ruby, and Brandon, line up one behind the other.
The different ways they can stand in line = 4!
[tex]= 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1\\\\= 12 \times 2\\\\24[/tex]
So, there are 24 different ways they can stand in line.
