How it works
Factorial is defined as:
n! = n × (n−1) × (n−2) × ... × 2 × 1
Special case:
0! = 1
This calculator uses exact integer arithmetic with JavaScript BigInt, so the factorial value is not approximated.
Examples
- 0! = 1
- 5! = 120
- 10! = 3,628,800
- 20! is already a very large integer

FAQ
- What is a factorial?
The factorial of n is the product of all positive integers from 1 to n. Example: 5! = 120.
- What values can factorial use?
Factorials are defined for non-negative integers only.
- Why do factorials grow quickly?
Each step multiplies by a larger integer, so factorial values increase very rapidly.
- Why does this calculator limit very large inputs?
Factorials become extremely large very quickly. The limit keeps the page responsive and readable.
- Are my inputs stored?
No. All calculations run locally in your browser.
