Calculate the multifactorial 16!3

We have 3 exclamation symbols (!)

Start at 16

Iterate backwards in steps of 3

Stop when we hit 1 or below

Term 1

For term 1, we start with 16

Term 2

Subtract -1 x 3 = -3 to get n(n - -3)

(n - -3) → 16 - -3 = 13
Our factorial term is:
16(13)

Term 3

Subtract -1 x 3 = -3 to get n(n - -3)(n - -3)

(n - -3) → 16 - -3 = 10
Our factorial term is:
16(13)(10)

Term 4

Subtract -1 x 3 = -3 to get n(n - -3)(n - -3)(n - -3)

(n - -3) → 16 - -3 = 7
Our factorial term is:
16(13)(10)(7)

Term 5

Subtract -1 x 3 = -3 to get n(n - -3)(n - -3)(n - -3)(n - -3)

(n - -3) → 16 - -3 = 4
Our factorial term is:
16(13)(10)(7)(4)

Term 6

Subtract -1 x 3 = -3 to get n(n - -3)(n - -3)(n - -3)(n - -3)(n - -3)

(n - -3) → 16 - -3 = 1
Our factorial term is:
16(13)(10)(7)(4)(1)

Build final multifactorial:

16!3 = n(n - -3)(n - -3)(n - -3)(n - -3)(n - -3)...

16!3 = 16(13)(10)(7)(4)(1)

Final Answer


16!3 = 58,240
