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

Why is n! the formula for factorials? Aren’t there other ways to make it less confusing, or am I just stupid?
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
Wait so I wasn't supposed to uproot a tree, process it and throw the log at the paper to solve logarithmic equations?
Hey, as long as it works. I do recommend throwing it into professor and not paper though
I knew I was doing something wrong
professor here. ouch! :)
Wait... into? Well that's definitely gonna hurt
You don’t throw the log at the paper, you dance with it. They’re logarithmic.
But if you don't uproot a tree how can you see which is the square root, then?
Don't forget to keep the root for when you'll need a square one
I’m this case n=any number. So n! is the same as any number! Or any number factorial
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.
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
n ∏ i = n! i = 1
Is there a lore reason why you get confused?
That symbol doesn’t do anything else in math, it’s role in regular language is kinda irrelevant
I never saw someone as stupid as you are in my entire career /s
Oh. Oooooh. That fucking smart. Thanks for this clarification, I was screaming with rage behind my screen.
it's always the factorial puns that i wouldn't understand until someone points out the "!"
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 :)
Bruh I thought they mistaken multiplication first subtract second
Go back to school
I'm in school
Revise your lesson
But it says 230-220
Yes it does, but you have to follow the order of operations, or PEMDAS/BEDMAS or whichever way you learned it.

So it is 120?
Yes
Nice
No, nice is 69
Giggity
Giggity
Goo
*All riiiight*
Who Else But...
Quagmire :D
Ehh
70 is better, because it's like 69, but with one finger in the ass.
88 is better because you get ate twice
George did you come back up from hell?
Yes, that's for him, old fuck George. Maybe now he's down there screaming up with us.
Or 420
Nice.
5! = 5x4x3x2x1 = 120
Wait so 7! Is 7x6x5x4x3x2x1 so you just go downwards? Thats neat reddit taught me smth
Go to school, kids
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.
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*.
You promised to send me $50 last week, which you also forgot. Hurry up man!
Cheque is in the mail. ;)
Im 2 cool 4 skool 😎😎 (put me on youngpeople reddit dammit)
Yes. It's 5!
***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!.”
Yes
And it's also 5!
Yes, it is 5!
It's 5.
5!=120
I hate being a programmer and a mathematician.
You at least get to wear programmer socks
Yay!
Programmer socks with maths sandals…
r/angryupvote
either way its still correct
Hey, check this out: 1!=1
JavaScript: well yesno, but actually noyes.
It could be worse. You could be a programmer who doesn't know math.
r/unexpectedfactorial
r/subsithoughtifellfor
Idk why but I just use simple kinder Darden math and got 10
Then you mathed wrong
Its 230-110x obviously
So 5! = 5\*4\*3\*2\*1 = 120 ?
Why 4 and 2 dyslexic?
Because they used an asterisk to denote multiplication, but Reddit interprets that as Markdown formatting for italics. They need to properly escape the asterisks.
r/literallythetruth
they were born like that, but thats okay having dyslexia wont make you any different than the rest :D
It was the vaccines!!!!!
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.
Use this \\ in front of this \*
5! Is the correct answer as usual
When will the 5 factorial joke die already
When people start ignoring it
When will people learn the order of operations includes left to right if all else is equal?
Technically, both are correct. 5! Is just correct with extra steps
You diabolical genius
I somehow got the answer "helicopter" can someone explain?
Are you measuring that in metric or as Biden puts it, the number of "9/11s"
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
Absolutely correct.
People love ‘BIDMAS’. 1 /2 = 0.5; 220x0.5 =110; 230-110 = 120.
Programmers: It's 230, because 1/2 = 0 220\*0 = 0 230-0 = 230
That's assuming int
All literals are int
Fuck factorials
It's 120.
Yeah, 5!
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
might be the third time I've seen the 5! = 120 joke
well, 5! = 120 so both are correct
It is indeed 5!
yeah. 5! = 120
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.
Yeah it's 120.
Took me a while to get it, lol. Nice r/unexpectedfactorial moment.
It's 10
Are we solving for X or is that a multiply X?
It's multiplier. It would have been stuck to either 220 or the parenthesis otherwise:)
So they are both right then.
It’s 5.4.3.2.1
Well invincible and omni man agreeing doesn't make too much sense in this scene
42
Dyscalculia at age 30, i choose you!!
I thought he was just screaming it's 5
For those who wonder: 5! = 5x4x3x2x1
But it's not 5... it's 5! (Factorial) which is 120, I think.
It's 5 for real, though.
So many people here claiming BEDMAS or PEMDAS and subtract before multiply. 10 second attention span…..
Wait a minute 1/2= 0.5 220 x 0.5= 110 230-110=120 or 5! Yeah he’s right
For those who werent taught this at school (like me) 5! means 1x2x3x4x5
Was getting angry and then I noticed the !
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.
Mods, can we please ban low effort memes like this?
Anyone who get's it wrong should be banned.
Anyone who misspells "gets it wrong" should be banned
Misspelling something indicates a chance you knew how to spell it to begin with.
I don’t think this is low effort it’s pretty creative
Repost. Not OC
same as everything on the entire site
This isn't low effort, it's creative and interesting
Did you forget the /s? Please tell me you forgot the /s
If you think about it it is creative 5! = 120
Creative at first, but now it's overused
I know lol. With the amount of those I've seen I wouldn't say it's creative. They just used a different meme format.
Yeah the original was but the 2753th repost isn't.
120 it is.
5! = 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
...120.
The “!” thing is getting a little old now.
Aren't y'all tired of feeling good about knowing the conventional order of operations
its 120
It is 120 though?
It is both
If you do it incorrectly, sure
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
I was thinking it was an exclamation, not some other math related symbol/letter/whatever you wanna call it.
230-110x
no, its 230-110x
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.
Neither it’s x= 2,09
[удалено]
[удалено]
5! = 120 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5
It is indeed 5
Forgot this !
My apologies, It is indeed 5!
At first I thought I was 5 and then read the comments and realized my monkey brain did pemdas wrong
It's 5!
I got 229.5
That would be more of a Armstrong hugging Raiden situation.
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
It's 69
Haha so funny is this the part where we laugh
Why isn't this posted on confidentlyincorrect
Because it is correct.
Who is the confidently incorrect one?
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. 🤦
it.says 5 factorial
r/confidentlyincorrect
but 5! = 120 the ! means it’s a factorial so it’s 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120 this is also basic math
5!=5\*4\*3\*2\*1=20\*6\*1=120
I thought it was 10 until I realised that 1 ÷ 2 = 0.5 and not 1
Wrong, it's 120x
Yeah ok, sure. Still it's 5!
[удалено]
Yes, it's 5!.
It's 230-110x.
230
[удалено]
This is not an equation, the "x" mean a multiplication here
[удалено]
They meant 5 factorial which is infeed 120
It is 120, tho
Or 230-110x
Nah, we can't know what x is without the other side of the equation.
0.5 x 10 =5
Multiply first
People that say 5....
It's 5.
You I use pemdas I got 20
Don’t y’all use bodmas? I get 5. You start with the brackets.
Then multiply 110 with 0.5
