If (n + 5)!/(n + 2)! = 1320, what is n?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 7

Factorials are products of consecutive positive integers. When one factorial is divided by a smaller nearby factorial, all common factors cancel. Therefore (n+5)!/(n+2)!=(n+5)(n+4)(n+3). The equation becomes (n+5)(n+4)(n+3)=1320, so the answer can be checked by testing the listed values.

For option B, n=7, the three factors are 12,11,10. Their product is 12 times 11 times 10=1320, exactly the required value. The other listed values produce different products, so they do not satisfy the equation. Thus the supplied answer, option B, is correct. The factorials also require the usual nonnegative-integer interpretation of n in this school context.
