10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 10! Can this be true?! Why or why not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah it is true

OpenStudy (jamesj):

That's the standard definition of 10! so yes, it's definitely true.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's a nice joke. exclamation point mixed for factorial .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes!!! The expression "x!" means x(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)...1 So 10! means 10(10-1)(10-2)(10-3)(10-4)(10-5)(10-6)(10-7)(10-8)(10-9)= 10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1=10!, which means it is correct.

When you're in math long enough, you start seeing exclamation points in English papers and wonder why kids are using factorials in research papers.
