# Question 31823: Quotient of Consecutive Factorials [Return to catalogue page 160](https://ocme.evemisslab.com/en/questions/page/160/) [← Question derivation index](https://ocme.evemisslab.com/en/questions/) · [Original question batch](https://ocme.evemisslab.com/en/practice/batch-20260926-factorial-foundations/#q-20260926-factorial-consecutive-quotient-0023) This teaching derivation has second-context AI mathematical and bilingual semantic review, limited to the model and assumptions stated in this question. It has no human review or new Lean proof and does not promote the original question or MKO to Canonical truth. R0062-31823 · q-20260926-factorial-consecutive-quotient-0023 ## Original question and givens Compute 23!/22!; the denominator is explicitly positive. - G001 — Compute 23!/22!; the denominator is explicitly positive. ## Definition and scope Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate. - [mko-factorial](https://ocme.evemisslab.com/en/mko/mko-factorial/) ## Step-by-step derivation S001 · impliesBefore source roles = [qf-factorial-consecutive-quotient, no-domain-field, consecutive_quotient, no-form-field] After derived = [[exact_integer_STRING]] Conditions: none Check THIS bank interface:BASE equations use form/domain;BASE events/complement have no operation;factorials have no domain.ext18 uses local hyphens,other legacy operations underscores.Do not force every answer into a tuple or fraction.
