Faktorial ditemukan dalam beberapa budaya kuno, khususnya di [[matematika India]] dalam tulisan karya [[sastra Jain]], dan
Fungsi faktorial dalam matematika dikembangkan pada akhir abad ke-18 dan awal abad ke-19. [[Aproksimasi Stirling]] menyediakan sebuah hampiran yang akurat mengenai faktorial dari bilangan yang besar, yang memperlihatkan bahwa pertumbuhan nilainya lebih cepat daripada [[pertumbuhan eksponensial]]. Adapula [[rumus Legendre]] yang menjelaskan eksponen bilangan prima dalam [[faktorisasi bilangan prima]] melalui faktorial, dan rumus tersebut dapat dipakai untuk menghitung jejak nol melalui faktorial. [[Daniel Bernoulli]] dan [[Leonhard Euler]] [[menginterpolasi]] fungsi faktorial menjadi sebuah fungsi kontinu pada [[bilangan kompleks]], kecuali pada bilangan bulat negatif. Fungsi tersebut ialah [[fungsi gamma]] (ofset).

== Definisi ==
Fungsi faktorial suatu bilangan bulat positif <math>n</math> didefinisikan melalui hasil kali<ref name="gkp2" /><math display="block">n! = 1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdots (n-2) \cdot (n-1) \cdot n.</math>Rumus di atas dapat ditulis lebih singkat melalui [[notasi kapital Pi]]<ref name="gkp2" /><math display="block">n! = \prod_{i = 1}^n i.</math>If this product formula is changed to keep all but the last term, it would define a product of the same form, for a smaller factorial. This leads to a [[recurrence relation]], according to which each value of the factorial function can be obtained by multiplying the previous value {{nowrap|by <math>n</math>:<ref name=hamkins/>}}<math display="block"> n! = n\cdot (n-1)!.</math>Sebagai contoh, {{nowrap|<math>5! = 5\cdot 4!=5\cdot 24=120</math>.}}
=== Faktorial dari 0 ===
Faktorial {{nowrap|dari <math>0</math>}} {{nowrap|adalah <math>1</math>,}} atau dapat dituliskan dalam bentuk simbol, {{nowrap|<math>0!=1</math>.}} Ada beberapa alasan mengenai definisi ini:
* Untuk {{nowrap|<math>n=0</math>,}} definisi <math>n!</math> sebagai hasil kali melibatkan hasil kali tanpa adanya bilangan sama sekali, dan demikian definisi tersebut merupakan sebuah contoh konvensi yang luas bahwa [[darab kosong]], darab tanpa adanya faktor, sama dengan identitas perkaliannya.<ref>{{cite book|last=Dorf|first=Richard C.|year=2003|title=CRC Handbook of Engineering Tables|publisher=CRC Press|isbn=978-0-203-00922-2|page=5-5|contribution=Factorials|contribution-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=TCLOBgAAQBAJ&pg=SA5-PA5}}</ref>
* Ada setidaknya satu permutasi dari nol benda, yang berarti tidak ada benda yang diurutkan dan tidak ada benda yang disusun kembali.<ref name="hamkins">{{cite book|last=Hamkins|first=Joel David|year=2020|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ns_tDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA50|title=Proof and the Art of Mathematics|location=Cambridge, Massachusetts|publisher=MIT Press|isbn=978-0-262-53979-1|page=50|mr=4205951|author-link=Joel David Hamkins}}</ref>
* Konvensi ini membuat banyak identitas dalam [[kombinatorik]], yang valid untuk semua pilihan valid mengenai parameternya. Sebagai contoh, banyaknya cara untuk memilih semua <math>n</math> anggota dari sebuah himpunan dari <math>n</math> adalah <math display="inline">\tbinom{n}{n} = \tfrac{n!}{n!0!} = 1,</math> identitas [[koefisien binomial]] yang akan valid {{nowrap|karena <math>0!=1</math>.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Goldenberg | first1 = E.

* Karena {{nowrap|<math>0!=1</math>,}} relasi rekurensi mengenai faktorial tetap valid {{nowrap|di <math>n=1</math>.}} Therefore, with this convention, a [[Recursion|recursive]] computation of the factorial needs to have only the value for zero as a [[Base case (recursion)|base case]], simplifying the computation and avoiding the need for additional special cases.<ref>{{cite conference|last1=Haberman|editor4-last=Utting|title=Proceedings of the 7th Annual SIGCSE Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education, ITiCSE 2002, Aarhus, Denmark, June 24-28, 2002|publisher=Association for Computing Machinery|pages=84–88|doi=10.1145/544414.544441|contribution=The case of base cases: Why are they so difficult to recognize?

* This choice matches the [[gamma function]] {{nowrap|<math>0! = \Gamma(0+1) = 1</math>,}} and the gamma function must have this value to be a [[continuous function]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Farrell|first1=Orin J.|last2=Ross|first2=Bertram|year=1971|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fXPDAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA10|title=Solved Problems in Analysis: As Applied to Gamma, Beta, Legendre and Bessel Functions|publisher=Courier Corporation|isbn=978-0-486-78308-6|series=Dover Books on Mathematics|page=10}}</ref>

The same integral converges more generally for any [[complex number]] <math>z</math> whose real part is positive.

Even better efficiency is obtained by computing {{math|''n''!}} from its prime factorization, based on the principle that [[exponentiation by squaring]] is faster than expanding an exponent into a product.<ref name="borwein" /><ref name="schonhage">{{cite book|last=Schönhage|first=Arnold|year=1994|title=Fast algorithms: a multitape Turing machine implementation|publisher=B.I. Wissenschaftsverlag|page=226}}</ref> An algorithm for this by [[Arnold Schönhage]] begins by finding the list of the primes up {{nowrap|to <math>n</math>,}} for instance using the [[sieve of Eratosthenes]], and uses Legendre's formula to compute the exponent for each prime. Then it computes the product of the prime powers with these exponents, using a recursive algorithm, as follows:
* Use divide and conquer to compute the product of the primes whose exponents are odd
* Divide all of the exponents by two (rounding down to an integer), recursively compute the product of the prime powers with these smaller exponents, and square the result
* Multiply together the results of the two previous steps
The product of all primes up to <math>n</math> is an <math>O(n)</math>-bit number, by the [[prime number theorem]], so the time for the first step is <math>O(n\log^2 n)</math>, with one logarithm coming from the divide and conquer and another coming from the multiplication algorithm. In the recursive calls to the algorithm, the prime number theorem can again be invoked to prove that the numbers of bits in the corresponding products decrease by a constant factor at each level of recursion, so the total time for these steps at all levels of recursion adds in a [[geometric series]] {{nowrap|to <math>O(n\log^2 n)</math>.}} The time for the squaring in the second step and the multiplication in the third step are again {{nowrap|<math>O(n\log^2 n)</math>,}} because each is a single multiplication of a number with <math>O(n\log n)</math> bits. Again, at each level of recursion the numbers involved have a constant fraction as many bits (because otherwise repeatedly squaring them would produce too large a final result) so again the amounts of time for these steps in the recursive calls add in a geometric series {{nowrap|to <math>O(n\log^2 n)</math>.}} Consequentially, the whole algorithm takes {{nowrap|time <math>O(n\log^2 n)</math>,}} proportional to a single multiplication with the same number of bits in its result.<ref name="schonhage" />
