Go on multiflying with 1,2,3,4,5,6....

1*1=1
1*2=2
2*3=6
6*4=24
24*5=120
120*6=720

The correct answer is 120. So 96 is the wrong number in the given series.

Series can be written as 1, 1!, 2!, 3!, 4!, 5!, 6! = 1, 1, 2, 6, 24, 120, 720.

So odd number is 96 in given series.

I didn't understand the significance of 1 two times in the series!

Any justification?

Galactic said:   7 years ago
Correct series is 0! 1! 2! 3! 4! 5! 6!.

5! is 120 not 96.
