. We're sorry about the hassle.
I thought 0! was just really excited :(
i didnt se there was a 0 !

me ....too...i answered 1 because i didn't notice the (!)
Haha ! means factorial but I didn't even see the ! either, just saw 1000^0 and answered too quick
Really i m confused frst but after few thinking i gave a correct answer it is so funny problem

I tried to undo my accidental down vote and it just made it much worse! Sorry!!
Very easy, very good question and brilliant answer!
In first time, we need to calculate 0!
1st demonstration:
In simple terms, the idea of the factorial is used to compute the number of permutations of arranging a set of n numbers.
For n = 1 :
The number of permutations is 1 ! = 1 . { 1 }
For n = 2 :
The number of permutations is 2 ! = 2 . { 1 , 2 } { 2 , 1 }
For n = 3 :
The number of permutations is 3 ! = 6 . { 1 , 2 , 3 } { 1 , 3 , 2 } { 2 , 1 , 3 } { 2 , 3 , 1 } { 3 , 1 , 2 } { 3 , 2 , 1 }
…
Therefore, we can conclude that, for n = 0 :
The number of permutations is 0 ! = 1 . { }
2nd demonstration:
n ! = n ∗ ( n − 1 ) ∗ … ∗ 2 ∗ 1 n ! = n ∗ ( n − 1 ) ! ⇒ 1 ! = 1 ∗ 0 !
But we know that 1 ! = 1 , therefore 1 ! = 1 = 1 ∗ 0 ! ⇒ 0 ! = 1
Now, we know that 0 ! = 1 , so 1 0 0 0 0 ! = 1 0 0 0 1 = 1 0 0 0 .
Therefore 1 0 0 0 0 ! = 1 0 0 0 .
Combinatorics: you can read 0! as "in how many ways can you organize nothing?" One. Simple enough.
You can rearrange nothing in one way. Somewhat philosophical.
It isn't just philosophical, it isn't even what factorial means.

It might not "mean" that, but one of the interpretations of factorial is the one @Fabio Bittar gave us.
0! IS EQUAL TO 1 THEREFORE { 1000 }^{ 1 } = 1000
I forgot about the factorial and carelessly got the answer as 1.
what is "!" ?
n ! = ( n − 1 ) ! × n
Subbing n = 1,
1 ! = 0 ! × 1 ,
1 1 ! = 0 !
0 ! = 1
Therefore, 1 0 0 0 0 ! = 1 0 0 0
The zero indicates the number of times it should by multiplied by the original number. Since it was 0, then that means it wasnt multiplied, so it was still 1000
no - by convention x 0 is always 1, regardless of the value of x.
However the question is 1 0 0 0 0 ! - so first you evaluate 0 !
0 ! = 1 ⇒ 1 0 0 0 0 ! = 1 0 0 0 1 = 1 0 0 0
0!=1 (There's only one arrangement of zero items) 1000^1=1,000
Since 0 factorial is equal to 1 . We simply get 1000^1 as 1000
As 0! = 1 and 1000 to the power 1 = 1000

Since 0 ! = 1 , 1 0 0 0 0 ! = 1 0 0 0 1 = 1 0 0 0 .
