  2. Factorial number system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorial_number_system

    The factorial number system is sometimes defined with the 0! place omitted because it is always zero (sequence A007623 in the OEIS). In this article, a factorial number representation will be flagged by a subscript "!". In addition, some examples will have digits delimited by a colon. For example, 3:4:1:0:1:0! stands for

  3. Factorial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorial

    [39] [40] The factorial number system is a mixed radix notation for numbers in which the place values of each digit are factorials. [ 41 ] Factorials are used extensively in probability theory , for instance in the Poisson distribution [ 42 ] and in the probabilities of random permutations . [ 43 ]

  4. Derangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derangement

    The number of derangements of a set of size n is known as the subfactorial of n or the n th derangement number or n th de Montmort number (after Pierre Remond de Montmort). Notations for subfactorials in common use include !n, D n, d n, or n¡ . [a] [1] [2] For n > 0 , the subfactorial !n equals the nearest integer to n!/e, where n!

  5. Stirling's approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling's_approximation

    However, the gamma function, unlike the factorial, is more broadly defined for all complex numbers other than non-positive integers; nevertheless, Stirling's formula may still be applied.

  6. Legendre's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legendre's_formula

    As one special case, it can be used to prove that if n is a positive integer then 4 divides () if and only if n is not a power of 2. It follows from Legendre's formula that the p -adic exponential function has radius of convergence p − 1 / ( p − 1 ) {\displaystyle p^{-1/(p-1)}} .

  7. Double factorial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_factorial

    In mathematics, the double factorial of a number n, denoted by n‼, is the product of all the positive integers up to n that have the same parity (odd or even) as n. [1] That is, n ! ! = ∏ k = 0 ⌈ n 2 ⌉ − 1 ( n2 k ) = n ( n2 ) ( n − 4 ) ⋯ . {\displaystyle n!!=\prod _{k=0}^{\left\lceil {\frac {n}{2}}\right\rceil -1}(n-2k ...

    A witness first saw the gun poking through a crack between the apartment door and the frame. There had been a knock and an eerie silence, then an attempt by two men to force the door open.

  9. Wilson's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilson's_theorem

    For each of the values of n from 2 to 30, the following table shows the number (n − 1)! and the remainder when (n − 1)! is divided by n. (In the notation of modular arithmetic, the remainder when m is divided by n is written m mod n.) The background color is blue for prime values of n, gold for composite values.
