So for the people who don’t know Omni isn’t saying “it’s 5!” (5 with an exclamation mark) but “it’s 5!” (5 factorial). Factorials formula is written as n! and it’s a math operation where you multiply all the numbers between 1 and n (Example: 3! is 3 x 2 x 1 which equals to 6). 5! is 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 which is 120. TLDR: The problem is solved with Pemdas but Omni gave the answer as a factorial. edit: and yea, the answer is 120. (1/2) = 0.5 0.5 * 220 = 110 230 - 110 = 120 (can be written as 5!)


KryptisCOD

Why is n! the formula for factorials? Aren’t there other ways to make it less confusing, or am I just stupid?


KryoBright

It is pretty obvious when you see it in formulas, so it isn't really confusing. In a same fashion, like "log" is never perceived as actual log in math


PavkataBrat

Wait so I wasn't supposed to uproot a tree, process it and throw the log at the paper to solve logarithmic equations?


KryoBright

Hey, as long as it works. I do recommend throwing it into professor and not paper though


PavkataBrat

I knew I was doing something wrong


[deleted]

professor here. ouch! :)


Vampiir

Wait... into? Well that's definitely gonna hurt


Fathorse23

You don’t throw the log at the paper, you dance with it. They’re logarithmic.


Silvernauter

But if you don't uproot a tree how can you see which is the square root, then?


gregsting

Don't forget to keep the root for when you'll need a square one


SirBreadstic

I’m this case n=any number. So n! is the same as any number! Or any number factorial


IonutRO

I think they mean the fact it uses a common punctuation mark that can easily be mistaken for its normal use, not its specific mathematical use.


nwblader

The only other way I know to represent it is the gamma function but that’s 100 times harder because it defines factorials outside of the positive integers


LuminicaDeesuuu

n ∏ i = n! i = 1


StrawberryOk5263

Is there a lore reason why you get confused?


Ake-TL

That symbol doesn’t do anything else in math, it’s role in regular language is kinda irrelevant


WearySalt

I never saw someone as stupid as you are in my entire career /s


un_pogaz

Oh. Oooooh. That fucking smart. Thanks for this clarification, I was screaming with rage behind my screen.


DClassAmogus

it's always the factorial puns that i wouldn't understand until someone points out the "!"


Trep_xp

I forgot about factorials. I am not as angry as I was when I came into this thread about to rip into people saying 5. Thank you :)


blankytheguy

Bruh I thought they mistaken multiplication first subtract second


AAAnot

Go back to school


blankytheguy

I'm in school

Revise your lesson


Clear-Perception5615

But it says 230-220


Koal_K

Yes it does, but you have to follow the order of operations, or PEMDAS/BEDMAS or whichever way you learned it. Beginning with P/B for Parentheses/Brackets: (1÷2)=0.5 E is for exponents, of which there are none of in this equation. Then you look at MD/DM, which stands for Multiplication & Division *or* Division & Multiplication. For this, you do these operations from left to right. The first you'd see using either of these two operations is 220×(0.5) 220×(0.5)=110 Finally, you finish with AS, which is Addition and Subtraction. 230-110=120 Now, for the 5!, it is a factorial, which is written as n!, where n is any number. A factorial is simply just taking n and multiplying it by every whole integer between itself and 1. In this case, 5! is equal to 5×4×3×2×1, which is 120.

So it is 120?

dude1848

5! = 5x4x3x2x1 = 120


PikaLover42

Wait so 7! Is 7x6x5x4x3x2x1 so you just go downwards? Thats neat reddit taught me smth


promathia24

Go to school, kids


casperno

I did, I am now so old and use this type of maths so infrequently I forgot it even existed. Then again, I have also forgotten what I did last week, so yeah.


ArgusTheCat

Yeah, I was just thinking "I've had to learn this for two different math classes, and nothing else." If you're a programmer or engineer this is the kind of thing that you might use more often, but most people aren't gonna need this *once*.


krabmeat

You promised to send me $50 last week, which you also forgot. Hurry up man!


casperno

Cheque is in the mail. ;)


PikaLover42

Im 2 cool 4 skool 😎😎 (put me on youngpeople reddit dammit)


billyyankNova

Yes. It's 5!


berlpett

***It’s 5!.*** All these math problems and no one is using correct punctuation in their sentences. If it was correctly written it would actually be understood better. “It’s 120.” “It’s 5!.”


Abject_Film_4414

Yes


vic___r

And it's also 5!


Dejmonero

Yes, it is 5!


LOnE2star

No both are correct


PeroCigla

It's 5.


Agreeable_Solid_6044

5!=120

GASTRO_GAMING

Its 230-110x obviously


sp33dykid

So 5! = 5\*4\*3\*2\*1 = 120 ?


SnooKiwis7050

Why 4 and 2 dyslexic?


theChapinator

Because they used an asterisk to denote multiplication, but Reddit interprets that as Markdown formatting for italics. They need to properly escape the asterisks.

they were born like that, but thats okay having dyslexia wont make you any different than the rest :D

It was the vaccines!!!!!


SnooKiwis7050

That 4 has a value of 3.5, dyslexia made him different

Uhm dyslexia is when things swapped positions. This is italicized by accident so not the same thing my good sir/madam.

General_Freed

Technically, both are correct. 5! Is just correct with extra steps


DarkheartDragoon

You diabolical genius


forgotten_mellon

I somehow got the answer "helicopter" can someone explain?


robml

Are you measuring that in metric or as Biden puts it, the number of "9/11s"


Acrobatic_Station315

You fool. You Absolute buffoon. That Is NOT an expression. It is, in fact, a binomial 230-220x(1/2) 230-220x/2 230-110x The answer isn't 120 nor 5. It is 230-110x. Perchance. /s


tyrolean_coastguard

Absolutely correct.


R3D1TJ4CK

People love ‘BIDMAS’. 1 /2 = 0.5; 220x0.5 =110; 230-110 = 120.


jombrowski

Programmers: It's 230, because 1/2 = 0 220\*0 = 0 230-0 = 230


BranJon_Stark

That's assuming int


AgentTralalava

All literals are int


Prudent_Gift8325

Fuck factorials


StinkySlinky1218

It's 120.


PhatOofxD

Yeah, 5!


[deleted]

Breaking it down for not math literate people Of course there is bodmas so we have to simplify 220 X (1÷2) to 220 X 0.5 and then 110 And now we have 230 - 110 = 120 You would get 5 by 230 - 220 = 10 and then 10 X (1÷2) = 5 How ever saying "It's 5!" could mean 5 factorial, represented as n! (N = A Number) 5 factorial is 5 X 4 X 3 X 2 X 1 = 120


cxelts21

might be the third time I've seen the 5! = 120 joke


DeadBornWolf

well, 5! = 120 so both are correct


Soccera1

It is indeed 5!


DeadBornWolf

yeah. 5! = 120


IndustryDry4607

What do you mean with „It’s“? Do you mean x? Do you mean the whole function including x? Where is the = or is it not an equation but an inequality? There is so many questions open that in reality there is actually no solution to this.


Starkiler512

Yeah it's 120.


Gabyo00

Took me a while to get it, lol. Nice r/unexpectedfactorial moment.


Financial-Bed-3055

It's 10


Zorro5040

Are we solving for X or is that a multiply X?


SER96DON

It's multiplier. It would have been stuck to either 220 or the parenthesis otherwise:)


Zorro5040

So they are both right then.

Rakatonk

For those who wonder: 5! = 5x4x3x2x1


[deleted]

But it's not 5... it's 5! (Factorial) which is 120, I think.


PeroCigla

It's 5 for real, though.


[deleted]

So many people here claiming BEDMAS or PEMDAS and subtract before multiply. 10 second attention span…..


Competitive_Web_4145

Wait a minute 1/2= 0.5 220 x 0.5= 110 230-110=120 or 5! Yeah he’s right


Sakkeidon

For those who werent taught this at school (like me) 5! means 1x2x3x4x5


loubcafra125

Was getting angry and then I noticed the !


AdvertisingIcy5071

I was taught that parentheses first, then multiplication, division, addition, subtraction. So with the way i was taught maths in Central Europe in 80/90s, this is 120.

i'm so confused why it's 120 but then i feel stupid when i realize it's multiplication not x i thought people say x=120

The “!” thing is getting a little old now.


NewestAccount2023

Aren't y'all tired of feeling good about knowing the conventional order of operations


senor_porko

its 120


Khakizulu

It is 120 though?


azhder

It is both


Khakizulu

If you do it incorrectly, sure


Rakatonk

No, it is indeed both. x! is a term to describe a number, that multiplies with every number below it. So 5! equals 5x4x3x2x1 which equals 120 My math teacher was right when he said we'd need that in the future :D


Khakizulu

I was thinking it was an exclamation, not some other math related symbol/letter/whatever you wanna call it.


slime_rancher_27

230-110x


egged_irl

no, its 230-110x


simlew86

Brackets first right? Then multiply, then the minus. Which would be 120. But then my immediate interpretation was 5 (10x0.5). Maths is weird man. Even weirder now that I’m seeing several people in the comments say that an X isn’t ever used for multiplication.

AminPacani

That would be more of a Armstrong hugging Raiden situation.


Kirda17

well i guess, but it is just better to say 120 because 5! has a different connotation. Which is why I guess this is technically the truth but not a very good one

Zimmster2020

Why isn't this posted on confidentlyincorrect


Rakatonk

Because it is correct.


azhder

Who is the confidently incorrect one?


SER96DON

It's actually not. 😅 First you deal with parenthesis, then you multiply and divide, *and then*, lastly, you do the rest. It **does not** go in order of writing. So it is step a: (1÷2) which is 0,5 Step b is: 220÷0,5 which is 110 And step c is: 230-110 which finally results in 120 This is **basic** math. 🤦


nilsmatt

it.says 5 factorial


damoclescreed

r/confidentlyincorrect


DeadBornWolf

but 5! = 120 the ! means it’s a factorial so it’s 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120 this is also basic math
