wait is 5! = 120 an actual math thing i just reblogged it bc i sincerely believe that yelling a number makes it bigger 

An exclamation point after a number means factorial. Five factorial is 5 times 4 times 3 times 2 times 1. Three factorial is 3 times 2 times 1, etc.

But the more exclamation points after a number, the less big it is, a double factorial is every other number, so 6!! is 6 times 4 times 2, which is less than 6!, So yelling a number makes it bigger, but yelling louder makes it smaller again

it’s because you scared it

I genuinely love this post

but somehow (6!)! is a landslide bigger than 6! and 6!! and i don’t even know how to explain that

It’s because the parenthesis gives you an order of operations. (6!)! Is 6*5*4*3*2*1 = 720 and then you take 720 And then you have to factorial that all the way down to one!! Which results in a huuuge number! So its like the parenthesis are in a room and you yell that number into a bigger number. And then you go outside where there is MORE ROOM TO YELL AN EVEN BIGGER NUMBER.

720! =
