How many ways can 6 students be seated around a circular table?

Answer Details
To find the number of ways to seat 6 students around a circular table, we can use the following formula: N = (n-1)! where N is the number of ways to seat n people around a circular table, and ! means factorial (the product of all positive integers up to a given number). So, for 6 people, we have: N = (6-1)! = 5! Using the definition of factorial, we have: 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120 Therefore, there are 120 ways to seat 6 students around a circular table.
