+118667 how many ways can 9 people be seated to round table?'
Almost guest.
It is actually (9-1)! = 8!
NOT 9! as it would be if they were in a row. You see, you are supposed to only concern yourself with where people are sitting wrt each other NOT in regards to the room that the table is in. So there is no beginning or end to this circle like there is with a line. :)
+1023 Would it be infinity? Because a round table is infinitley round, ya know!
Lets take the circumference of the chairs and just straighten them out to a line
9 positions
9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 362880 ways I think!
