The factorial function is a common feature in scientific calculators. [73] It is also included in scientific programming libraries such as the Python mathematical functions module [74] and the Boost C++ library. [75]
For arbitrarily greater numbers one has to choose a base for representing individual digits, say decimal, and provide a separating mark between them (for instance by subscripting each digit by its base, also given in decimal, like 2 4 0 3 1 2 0 1, this number also can be written as 2:0:1:0!). In fact the factorial number system itself is not ...
A classic example of recursion is computing the factorial, which is defined recursively by 0! := 1 and n! := n × (n - 1)!.. To recursively compute its result on a given input, a recursive function calls (a copy of) itself with a different ("smaller" in some way) input and uses the result of this call to construct its result.

Dirichlet function: is an indicator function that matches 1 to rational numbers and 0 to irrationals. It is nowhere continuous. Thomae's function: is a function that is continuous at all irrational numbers and discontinuous at all rational numbers. It is also a modification of Dirichlet function and sometimes called Riemann function.
These symbols are collectively called factorial powers. [2] The Pochhammer symbol, introduced by Leo August Pochhammer, is the notation (), where n is a non-negative integer. It may represent either the rising or the falling factorial, with different articles and authors using different conventions.
The highest power of p that divides 2 − a 0 = −17 is 2 0 = 1. Also, for any a ≠ 2 in P, a − a 0 is divisible by 2. Hence, the highest power of p that divides (a 1 − a 0) is minimum when a 1 = 2 and the minimum power is 1. Thus a 1 is chosen as 2 and v 1 (P, 2) = 1. To choose a 2:
These are counted by the double factorial 15 = (6 − 1)‼. 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,
