The factorial of a number

n is denoted as

!
n! and represents the product of all positive integers from 1 to

n. To calculate the factorial of

+
1
n+1, we simply multiply all the positive integers from 1 to

+
1
n+1. Therefore, the factorial of

+
1
n+1 is expressed as
(

+
1
)
!
(n+1)!.

Mathematically,
(

(n+1)!=(n+1)×n×(n−1)×…×3×2×1.

For example, if

=

n=4, then
(

(n+1)!=5!=5×4×3×2×1=120.

Keep in mind that calculating factorials of large numbers can result in very large values, and the number can grow rapidly as

n increases.
