  2. Factorial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorial

    For instance, the number of ways to choose all elements from a set of is () =!!! =, a binomial coefficient identity that would only be valid with ! =. [ 23 ] With 0 ! = 1 {\displaystyle 0!=1} , the recurrence relation for the factorial remains valid at n = 1 {\displaystyle n=1} .

  3. Factorial number system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorial_number_system

    By converting a number less than n! to factorial representation, one obtains a sequence of n digits that can be converted to a permutation of n elements in a straightforward way, either using them as Lehmer code or as inversion table [1] representation; in the former case the resulting map from integers to permutations of n elements lists them ...

  4. Falling and rising factorials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_and_rising_factorials

    When the variable is a positive integer, the number () is equal to the number of n-permutations from a set of x items, that is, the number of ways of choosing an ordered list of length n consisting of distinct elements drawn from a collection of size .

  5. 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!

    Computable number: A real number whose digits can be computed by some algorithm. Period: A number which can be computed as the integral of some algebraic function over an algebraic domain. Definable number: A real number that can be defined uniquely using a first-order formula with one free variable in the language of set theory.

  7. Bhargava factorial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhargava_factorial

    The Bhargava factorial has the property that many number-theoretic results involving the ordinary factorials remain true even when the factorials are replaced by the Bhargava factorials. Using an arbitrary infinite subset S of the set Z {\displaystyle \mathbb {Z} } of integers, Bhargava associated a positive integer with every positive integer ...

    3. Subfactorial: if n is a positive integer, !n is the number of derangements of a set of n elements, and is read as "the subfactorial of n". * Many different uses in mathematics; see Asterisk § Mathematics. | 1. Divisibility: if m and n are two integers, means that m divides n evenly. 2.
