1 ! = 1 1! = 1

2 ! = 2 2! = 2

3 ! = 6 3! = 6

4 ! = 24 4! = 24

5 ! = 120 5! = 120

6 ! = 720 6! = 720

7 ! , 8 ! , 7!, 8!, and forth, will always have 0 0 as their unit digit.

The unit digit of 11 ! 11! is 0 0

So, the unit digit of 11 ! 1 11! - 1 is 9 \boxed{9}

11 ! = 11 × 10 × 11! = 11 × 10 × \cdots
So, since 10 10 is one factor of 11 ! 11! , it will always have 0 0 in its units digit.
So, when we subtract one, we would obtained some number which has its unit digit 9 \boxed{9} .

Cool! Thanks!
