Mathematically it represents a factorial of that number. A factorial is when you take each number up to value and multiply them. So factorial 5 is 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5. Factorial 11 is 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 7 x 8 x 9 x 10 x 11. This is often written with the number you are getting the factorial for, followed by an exclamation mark.

What does an exclamation point symbol right next to a number do to the number?
An exclamation mark after a number is the symbol for the factorial function.
What would an exclamation mark at the end of the word OK mean?
It might mean that the person is shouting okay or that they are irritated. I'm OK! OK! I'll do it. Just stop bothering me!
Is there an exclamation mark after OK?
Not always - it depends on the context. There would be an exclamation point if it was being shouted or if it was being said in an exclamatory manner.
What does an exclamation point mean as a math symbol?
An exclamation mark stands for factorial. For instance, if the number is 7!, then that would be 7x6x5x4x3x2x1. =================================================== Factorial means you multiply the integer written by every integer below it until you reach 1. Oddly enough, 0! = 1. There is also a 'factorial' function for non-integral values, called the Gamma function.
What does exclamation mark mean in maths?
The exclamation sign in maths means FACTORIAL - multiply the number by all numbers less than it to 1. For Example: 7! means 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 5040 same goes with the other non zero positives. In maths, 0! has been assumed to be ONE.
