To solve the given expression [tex]\(4! = 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1\)[/tex]:
1. Start by multiplying the first two numbers:
[tex]\[
4 \times 3 = 12
\][/tex]
2. Next, multiply the result by the next number in the sequence:
[tex]\[
12 \times 2 = 24
\][/tex]
3. Finally, multiply by the last number:
[tex]\[
24 \times 1 = 24
\][/tex]
Therefore, the factorial of 4, which is denoted as [tex]\(4!\)[/tex], equals 24.
