Factorial
Factorial says to multiply all whole numbers from the chosen number down to 1.
The symbol is "!"
Examples:

7! = 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 5040

Fibonacci Numbers
Fibonacci numbers are created starting with 1 and 1, then get the next number in the list and adds the previous two numbers. Say, 1+1 =2 and then adds 1+2 you get 3, then adds 2+3 gives 5, then 3+5 gives 8 and so on.

For infinite or infinity please use search bar or alphabet index above
