"The factorial of an integer n is defined as: n! = n× (n-1) × (n-2).3×2×1.
By definition, 0! = 1. Factorials are used in the calculation of the number
of permutations and combinations of objects. For example, the number of
permutations of r objects from a set of n distinct objects is

Also, the number of combinations of n objects taken r at a time is

explanation
You have a set of n objects and you want to see how many different combinations there are if you take r objects at a time.
E.g. if your set contains the items w, x, y and z and if r = 2, the various combinations are:
wx
wy
wz
xy
xz
yz
For combinations (but NOT for permutations), wx is the same as xw
