[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]
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
In number theory, a factorion in a given number base is a natural number that equals the sum of the factorials of its digits. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The name factorion was coined by the author Clifford A. Pickover .
A form of unary notation called Church encoding is used to represent numbers within lambda calculus. Some email spam filters tag messages with a number of asterisks in an e-mail header such as X-Spam-Bar or X-SPAM-LEVEL. The larger the number, the more likely the email is considered spam. 10: Bijective base-10: To avoid zero: 26: Bijective base-26
5040 (five thousand [and] forty) is the natural number following 5039 and preceding 5041.. It is a factorial (7!), the 8th superior highly composite number, [1] the 19th highly composite number, [2] an abundant number, the 8th colossally abundant number [3] and the number of permutations of 4 items out of 10 choices (10 × 9 × 8 × 7 = 5040).
(resulting in 24 factorial primes - the prime 2 is repeated) No other factorial primes are known as of December 2024 [update] . When both n ! + 1 and n ! − 1 are composite , there must be at least 2 n + 1 consecutive composite numbers around n !, since besides n ! ± 1 and n ! itself, also, each number of form n ! ± k is divisible by k for 2 ...
A factorial x! is the product of all numbers from 1 to x. The first: 1, 2, 6, 24, 120, 720, 5040, 40320, 362880, 3628800, 39916800, 479001600 (sequence A000142 in the OEIS). 0! = 1 is sometimes included. A k-smooth number (for a natural number k) has its prime factors ≤ k (so it is also j-smooth for any j > k).
In mathematics, and more particularly in number theory, primorial, denoted by "p n #", is a function from natural numbers to natural numbers similar to the factorial function, but rather than successively multiplying positive integers, the function only multiplies prime numbers.
