Q: In how many ways can 6 people be seated around a circular table?
Solution:
The number of ways to arrange 6 people around a circular table is (6-1)! = 5! = 120.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that arranging people around a circular table is different from arranging them in a straight line.
Step 2: In a circular arrangement, one person's position can be fixed to avoid counting the same arrangement multiple times.
Step 3: Fix one person in one seat. This means we only need to arrange the remaining 5 people.
Step 4: Calculate the number of ways to arrange the remaining 5 people. This is done by finding the factorial of 5, which is written as 5!.
Step 5: Calculate 5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120.
Step 6: Conclude that there are 120 different ways to arrange 6 people around a circular table.
