Connections within the group of factorials and binomials and with other function groups


Two factorials and are the particular cases of the incomplete gamma function with the second argument being :

The factorial , double factorial , Pochhammer symbol , binomial coefficient , and multinomial coefficient can be represented through the gamma function by the following formulas:

Many of these formulas are used as the main elements of the definitions of many functions.

The factorials and binomials , , , , and are interconnected by the following formulas:
