How many ways can six friends be arranged around a circular dinner table?

1 answer:

6 0

A question such as this one is a little tricky since the people seated are not in a straight line.

For a circular table seating question, (n-1)! formula is used. Without restrictions 5! people can be seated.

You might be wondering why it is not 6!, this is because the first person will the the 6 person so you are accounting for the same person twice.

Hope I helped :)
