if what you have written is correct, then
\[ 9\cdot 8\cdot 7!=9!= \]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
! is a factorial. It means you have to multiply all of the stuff before it numerically.
For example, 4! means 4*3*2*1 = 24

so how would i do this problem, just need the equation
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
what equation?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I would start with the 7! and multiply it out. then multiply the 8 and the 9. and see if any of the answers is the equivilent.
7! would start as 7*6*5...etc. until you hit 1.

It will be a big number.
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
it is not that big, only six digits
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
you can use a calculator (if allowed).
almost every decent calculator has a key with the symbol ! which stands for factorial as @bl4ckj4ck777 told you
OpenStudy (anonymous):
would it be 5040?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
That is 7! yes, now you have to multiply 8 and 9.
