5! means 5 factorial, which you have to express it as
5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120
another example:
6! = 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 720
Special case: 0! = 1
have fun with maths :)

5*4*3*2*1
The " ! " stands for 'factorial'. n! means the product of all positive integers less than or equal to n.
In non-math lingo, take the number before the exclamation point and multiply it by each number below it down to 1.

5*4*3*2*1 = 5!
You'll get use to doing that and remember the value is 120.

Read it as 5 Factorial.
It means from 5 you have to multply descending numbers till you reach 1.
5! = 5x4x3x2x1=120
so n ! = n * (n-1) * (n -2)........ * 2 * 1.

you say it as 5 factorial
it means 5*4*3*2*1
so basically n! is a number n multiplied by all positive integers less than n

OK, since everyone seems to be compelled to answer a question the exact same way that it has already been answered by 10 other people, I'll say something original.
Don't listen to all this "factorial" claptrap. It means Five! Say it loud! FIVE!!!!!!!!! The number 5 is really excited and you have to say it like that! FIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
