3! is read as "3 factorial".
One definition of the factorial of a integer is, the product of the integer itself, and all the integers less than it. (And 0! is just defined to be 1.)
So 3! = 3 x 2 x 1 = 6

3 X 2 X 1 = 6 I believe

For any number, the ! sign denotes the "factorial" function. The factorial function is actually pretty simple, though the numbers grow very quickly.
To compute a factorial, you multiply every number from 1 to the specified number. So, for example:
3! = 1 * 2 * 3 = 6,
4! = 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 = 24,
5! = 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 = 120,
7! = 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 * 6 * 7 = 5040,
and so on.

Actually it's times
1 x 2 x 3 = 6
(but it's still 6)

factorial formula is
n! = (n) (n-1) (n-2) (n-3) ....
3! = (3)(2)(1)
3! = 6

3! is read as three factorial and is equal to
3*2*1
Similarly, 5! = 5*4*3*2*1

multiply 3x and x together which makes 4x squared then multiply 3x and y= 3xy 3xsquared + 3xy - 2x + 2y - 3y + 12x

1!=1
2!=2x1=2
3!=3x2x1=6
4!=4x3x2x1=24
...etc.
