- What does the factorial of a negative number signify?
So, basically, factorial gives us the arrangements Now, the question is why do we need to know the factorial of a negative number?, let's say -5 How can we imagine that there are -5 seats, and we need to arrange it? Something, which doesn't exist shouldn't have an arrangement right? Can someone please throw some light on it?

Why is this? I know what a factorial is, so what does it actually mean to take the factorial of a complex number? Also, are those parts of the complex answer rational or irrational? Do complex factorials give rise to any interesting geometric shapes curves on the complex plane?
- factorial - Why does 0! = 1? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
The theorem that $\binom {n} {k} = \frac {n!} {k! (n-k)!}$ already assumes $0!$ is defined to be $1$ Otherwise this would be restricted to $0 <k < n$ A reason that we do define $0!$ to be $1$ is so that we can cover those edge cases with the same formula, instead of having to treat them separately We treat binomial coefficients like $\binom {5} {6}$ separately already; the theorem assumes

Some theorems that suggest that the Gamma Function is the "right" extension of the factorial to the complex plane are the Bohr–Mollerup theorem and the Wielandt theorem
- An easier method to calculate factorials? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
To find the factorial of a number, n n, you need to multiply n n by every number that comes before it For example, if n= 4 n = 4, then n! = 24 n! = 24 since 4⋅3⋅2⋅1= 24 4 3 2 1 = 24 However, this method is very time consuming and, as n n gets larger, this method also become more difficult, so is there an easier method that I can use to find the factorial of any number?

Moreover, they start getting the factorial of negative numbers, like $-\frac {1} {2}! = \sqrt {\pi}$ How is this possible? What is the definition of the factorial of a fraction? What about negative numbers? I tried researching it on Wikipedia and such, but there doesn't seem to be a clear-cut answer
