# Factorial
In mathematics, the factorial of a non-negative integer `n`,
denoted by `n!`, is the product of all positive integers less
than or equal to `n`. For example:
```
5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120
```
| n | n! |
| ----- | :-------------------------: |
| 0 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 6 |
| 4 | 24 |
| 5 | 120 |
| 6 | 720 |
| 7 | 5 040 |
| 8 | 40 320 |
| 9 | 362 880 |
| 10 | 3 628 800 |
| 11 | 39 916 800 |
| 12 | 479 001 600 |
| 13 | 6 227 020 800 |
| 14 | 87 178 291 200 |
| 15 | 1 307 674 368 000 |

## Combinations without repetitions ## Combinations without repetitions
This is how lotteries work. The numbers are drawn one at a
time, and if we have the lucky numbers (no matter what order)
we win!
No Repetition: such as lottery numbers `(2,14,15,27,30,33)`
**Number of combinations**
![Formula](https://www.mathsisfun.com/combinatorics/images/combinations-no-repeat.png)
where `n` is the number of things to choose from, and we choose `r` of them,
no repetition, order doesn't matter.
It is often called "n choose r" (such as "16 choose 3"). And is also known as the Binomial Coefficient.
## Combinations with repetitions ## Combinations with repetitions
Repetition is Allowed: such as coins in your pocket `(5,5,5,10,10)`
Or let us say there are five flavours of icecream:
`banana`, `chocolate`, `lemon`, `strawberry` and `vanilla`.
We can have three scoops. How many variations will there be?
Let's use letters for the flavours: `{b, c, l, s, v}`.
Example selections include:
- `{c, c, c}` (3 scoops of chocolate)
- `{b, l, v}` (one each of banana, lemon and vanilla)
- `{b, v, v}` (one of banana, two of vanilla)
