+# Factorial
+
+
+
+In mathematics, the factorial of a non-negative integer `n`, 
+denoted by `n!`, is the product of all positive integers less 
+than or equal to `n`. For example:
+
+```
+5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120
+```
+
+| n     | n!                          | 
+| ----- | --------------------------: |
+| 0     | 1                           |
+| 1     | 1                           |
+| 2     | 2                           |

+| 4     | 24                          |
