    Well maybe it is just as @Imrahil says and is just a representation of someone sticking with the wrong answer.
    However it is not wrong to write 5! = 120
    The "!" is a valid mathematical notation, which is equal to the number say "n" multiplied by (n-1) then by (n-2) until you reach 1
    It is called Factorial if anyone is interested.

    Now if we make the equation for 5 factorial (aka. 5!) we get:

    5·4·3·2·1 = 120

    So just a fancier way of writing 120 :D

    Although if I should really nitpick the "x" is technically not the sign for multiplication, and is actually used for "Cross prodcuts".
    Oh and the division sign is not actually division either :p or it will at least be phased out for good reason, due to it being potentially misleading and very ugly (if I do say so myself :))
