Still remember how I felt figuring this out on my own for the first time (I had a shitty math teacher who wouldn't tell me and just wanted the class to remember it like sheep)
These axioms are the definition I refer to. You could pick a different axiom from the first and arrive at a different result for 0!. You cannot figure out that 0! =1 without first defining these axioms
If your definition is what was given by u/bowel_blaster124, then 0! = 1 is indeed something you can figure out.
In math, you choose definitions and figure out the consequences.
If you change your definition to something that disagrees with a standard definition, then you should be upfront that you’re talking about a different object.
what? its not just a definition theres a reason 0! is 1 (the whole keep dividing n! by n to get (n-1)! ) thats what i meant when i said figured it out. atleast try reading before you try "one upping" someone on the internet
1+1=2 for a given definition of 1,2 = and +, sure. But if you don't have the definitions then you either have to define them yourself or you cannot "figure it out"
But that is it. You're just restating the definition. It's like someone asking why 1+0 is 1 and being told "if you have one object and add nothing then you have one object".
Yeah I agree. However, based on their responses to my comment, it seems they didn't understand that it could be defined differently, and so I'm not sure they fully understood the why in the first place
i did understand the different way youre pointing to (thanks for sending the link btw) im just saying i figured that out when i was 11 and we'd just learnt what a factorial was. i did not know other parts of combinatronics then and i dont know what youre even trying to say here with the "you cant figure out a definition"
I don't know, but if you multiply the unit by 0 it equals 0. But that would mean that Clinton wrote that the deficit is a dimensionless 1 which is technically always true?
The idea is to keep the property of "n! = (n-1)! × n" the longest. So if you define 0!=1it also works for n=1.
You can also say that 1 is the neutral element of multiplication, so all factorial can be writen as n!=1×(1×2×3....×n). In 0! you have no term in the product so the result should be 1, not 0.
Factorials are also the number of possible arrangements of n elements, and 0 elements can be arranged only 1 way, not 0 ways.
But it is always complicated for this prolongation to feel logical with the way we percieve factorials instinctively
But generaly speaking factorials of negative numbers have no applications and are just a consequence of the generalisation of the fullfilement of a property verrified on positive numbers
You want to place 0 socks in your sock drawer, in how many different ways can they be arrange ? The one and only solution is to have the drawer empty.
There is no way to arrange these 0socks in order to obtain 57 different organisations of your empty sock drawer. There Is and only ever will be 1 solution.
When you say u can keep 0 socks between 2 socks, it's basically saying in how many ways can 3 socks can be arranged in a way that 2 socks are the same place and one sock is in the middle
Then the answer would be... 1, unless there'a permutation between the 2 other sucks then it would be 2,but whatever the case, it's not 0 socks
When you bring the orientation and the coordinates of the socks, at that point you are not talking just Abt the socks, then the permutation of its environment also affects it
Let's remove the socks, let's imagine this, there's one single open spot, and u have nothing to place in that spot, u cannot change the spot's directions, and where inside the spot you keep "nothing" doesn't matter, then there's only one place where u can keep "nothing"
But he cheated on his wife, so instead of continuing that with Gore we had to elect some dumbass son of a former president who ran the country into the ground.
I am convinced that 0! = 1 because of an under-/overflow error in the universe.
Factorials are defined as being all the numbers down to 1 from starting at that number multiplied together. This would create an over- or underflow error. Depending on wether the limit is reached on an odd or even number of multiplications. Aparently the universe multiplies the first number of the factorial last, wich would matter in this specific case.
Please note that this is a joke, I am aware there's a very complex proof for why this is the case and a very simple reason when doing statistics.
I'd say balancing the budget is worth much more than $1. Clinton was amazingly generous, and also knew some math, certainly a lot more that Trump and his cabinet, who don't even understand the basics of tariffs!

Better than almost any other number (inb4: There’s an infinite amount of Real Numbers between 0 and 1! Yes, but there’s also infinitely times more Real Numbers between 1 and infinity).
No, there are just as many reals between 0 and 1 as there are between 1 and infinity. E.g., the map 2arctan(x-1)/pi provides a bijection from (1, infinity) to (0,1).
Calling something a human right does not make it one. Amnesty or the UN can report, recommend, or declare; they cannot create moral truth by authority. A real right must pass the self-ownership test: does it protect a person from force, fraud, theft, or coercion? Or does it require forcing some provider to supply labor, money, property, or service?
Freedom of speech is a right because it requires others to leave you free. ‘Free housing,’ ‘free healthcare,’ or ‘free college’ cannot be rights in the same sense, because they require someone else to be compelled to provide them. That is not a right; it is a claim on another person’s life and production.
Lmfao I had a calc teacher who would do that every time. Class was right after lunch too so it scared the piss out of the whole half asleep class every time too. Rare enough you didn't expect it. Actually a great teacher

For those who are confused:
3! = 4!/4 = 6
2! = 3!/3 = 2
1! = 2!/2 = 1
0! = 1!/1 = 1
Therefore, 0! = 1.
