A name given to the factors of a continued product when the former are derivable from one and the same function F(x) by successively imparting a constant increment or decrement <i>h</i> to the independent variable. Thus the product <i>F(x).F(x + h).F(x + 2h) . . . F[x + (n-1)h]</i> is called a <i>factorial term</i>, and its several factors take the name of <i>factorials</i>.
