Factorial program in Python using function | Example code

You can use the math module factorial function to create your own Factorial program in Python using function. To create your own factorial function you have to use for loop.

factorial of 5 is

5!=5*4*3*2*1=120

factorial of n is

n!=n*(n-1)*....2*1

Note: Factorial is not defined for negative numbers, and Factorial of zero(0) is: 1

Example of factorial program in Python using function

Simple example code finds factorial of a user-given number.

def find_factorial(n):
    f = 1
    for i in range(1, n + 1):
        f = f * i
    return f


x = int(input("Enter a number: "))

result = find_factorial(x)

print("Factorial is:", result)

Output:

Use built-in function factorial() by importing math module

import math

x = 5

res = math.factorial(x)
print(res)

Output: 120
