Here in this Tutorial, you’ll learn How to find Factorial in C Programming.
What is the factorial of a number and how to find factorial?
- Factorial is denoted by the symbol ‘!’. For example, the factorial of a number 4 is denoted as 4!. Factorial of a number is defined as the product of “the number and all integers less than that number except zero and negative integers”.
- Natural numbers ( non-negative integers ) which are greater than zero are used for the factorial concept.
Factorial Example:
Zero factorial (0!) = 1 one factorial (1!) = 1 Two factorial (2!) = 2*1 = 2 Three factorial (3!) = 3*2*1 = 6 Four factorial (4!) = 4*3*2*1 = 24 Five factorial (5!) = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120 etc…
The common mathematical formula for finding the factorial of the number ‘n’ is given below.
n! = n ( n – 1)( n – 2)( n – 3) …… (1)
Program to find Factorial
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i,fact=1,num;
printf("\nPlease enter a number to find factorial : ");
scanf("%d",&num);
if (num<0)
{
printf("\nPlease enter a positive number to");
printf(" find factorial and try again. \n");
printf("\nFactorial can't be found for negative");
printf(" values. It can be only positive or 0 \n");
return 1;
}
for(i=1;i<=num;i++)
fact=fact*i;
printf("\n");
printf("Entered number is %d and it's factorial (%d!) is %d\n",num,num,fact);
return 0;
}
Output
Please enter a number to find factorial : 7 Entered number is 7 and it’s factorial (7!) is 5040
