There are 7 people who could stand first, with 6 people who could stand second for each of those first people, with 5 people who could stand third for each of those first two people, and so on, until with 1 person left who could stand seventh for each of the first six people. This gives 7 × 6 × 5 × ... × 1 = 5040 ways.

There are n! (n factorial) ways that n people can stand in line. So six people can stand in line in: 1*2*3*4*5*6 = 720 different ways
If the people are always facing forward? 24 ways.

It usually depends on how many people are there.
There are 7 people who could stand first, with 6 people who could stand second for each of those first people, with 5 people who could stand third for each of those first two people, and so on, until with 1 person left who could stand seventh for each of the first six people. This gives 7 × 6 × 5 × ... × 1 = 5040 ways.
3 items (or people) can line up in 6 different sequences. 6 items (or people) can line up in 720 different sequences.
10 people can line up in (10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2) = 3,628,800 different ways.

First place can be any of 6, second any of 5 etc. 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 = 720 different ways!
