Math Problem Statement
n/n-2!
Solution
The expression you've written, , contains a factorial. Let's break it down:
-
Factorial: The factorial of a number , denoted , is the product of all positive integers up to . For example:
-
Expression: You are dividing by , which simplifies to:
This means the expression simplifies to , where the factorial .
