What is the value of 4 factorial (4!)?

  1. 24

  2. 40

  3. 12

  4. 48

The correct answer is: 24

The value of 4 factorial, denoted as 4!, is calculated by multiplying all positive integers from 1 up to 4. To compute it: 4! = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 When you perform the multiplication: - First, multiply 4 by 3, which gives you 12. - Then, multiply 12 by 2, resulting in 24. - Finally, multiply 24 by 1, which remains 24. Thus, 4! equals 24. This calculation demonstrates the fundamental principle behind factorials, where n! represents the product of all positive integers up to n. Therefore, the correct answer is indeed 24.
