In mathematics symbolized by placing the "!" (known as the exclamation mark or bang) after a number, it represents multiplying a number by all whole numbers smaller than it.

Examples

5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120
10! = 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 3628800

Factorial numbers are those that are thus produced (in the cases above 120 and 362800 are factorial numbers.)
