A band put out an album containing 6 songs. In how many different ways can the band order these songs?

Answer 1

The number of ways to order 6 songs can be found using the factorial function. The factorial of a number is the product of all positive integers up to and including that number.

For example, the factorial of 4 is:

4! = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 24

To find the number of ways to order 6 songs, we need to calculate:

6! = 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 720

Therefore, there are 720 different ways the band can order their 6 songs on their album.
