120 = 12 10 = 3 4 5 2 = 1 2 3 4 5 = 5 ! 120=12\cdot 10 =3\cdot 4\cdot 5\cdot 2=1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4\cdot 5=5! n = 5 \Rightarrow n=5

1 ! = 1 2 ! = 2 3 ! = 6 4 ! = 24 5 ! = 120 1!=1\\ 2!=2\\ 3!=6\\ 4!=24\\ 5!=120

Therefore, n = 5 n=\boxed{5}

We start with 1 multiply 2, we get 2, multiply 3 we get 6, multiply 4 we get 24 multiply 5 we get 120. So, 120 = 5 ! n = 5 120 = 5! \implies n = \color{#3D99F6}{\boxed{5}} .

Knowng that each of the factorial values > 1 is unique, we can directly conclude: n ! = 120 = 5 ! < = > n = 5 n! = 120 = 5! <=> n = 5

n! = n x (n-1) x (n-2) x ... x 1 n x (n-1) x (n-2) x ... x 1 = 120 If we input n = 5, then 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120 n = 5
