Special Interest : Introducing factorials

As part of finding the numbers 1- 20 using only four 4's .  We were introduced to Factorials.

Factorials use the exclamation mark (!)
ie  4!

a " factorial of n items gives you the number of ways you can arrange the given items."

So 4! means = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24


For example: If there are two coins - you can arrange them in two different ways - like wise if you have 3 coins - there are 6 ways you can arrange them.
If you have four coins you can arrange then in ___ ways?
