Prove that the number of circular permutations of n different objects is (n-1)! .

Since n different objects are arranged in a circle, the relative positions not the linear positions determine the arrangement . Hence, if one of them is kept fixed, the remaining n-1 can be arranged in (n-1)! ways. This is exactly the number of circular permutations with n distinct objects.
