Therefore, 4! does not mean a loud “four”.
It means 4 factorial, which is calculated as 4 × 3 × 2 × 1.
Let us do that math first: 4 times 3 equals 12.
Then, 12 times 2 equals 24.
Finally, 24 times 1 equals 24.
So, the symbol 4! is actually equal to the number 24.
Now we can rewrite the original equation with this new value.
The equation becomes: 12 + 48 ÷ 24 = ?
Following the standard order of operations, division must be performed before addition.
So, we perform the division part first:
