    4 factorial (written as 4!) is 4•3•2•1

    I think this example explains it perfectly lol

    Edit: using • instead of * to avoid markdown

    Just a small correction in case you didn't know, but your answer shows as 432*1 because Lemmy formats text wrapped by * as italic, so it thinks you want to italicize the 3. You meant to write 4*3*2*1 (written as 4\*3\*2\*1). This is because \ is an escape character that tells lemmy not to take the * as a formatting character.
