Dim lngFactorial As Long
Dim intInputNbr As Integer
Dim intLoopCtr As Integer

intInputNbr = Val(InputBox("Enter a number:", "For/Next Loop"))

lngFactorial = 1

For intLoopCtr = 1 To intInputNbr
lngFactorial = lngFactorial * intLoopCtr
Next

Explanation

Repetition is also known as the looping or iteration control structure. Looping is the process of repeatedly executing one or more steps of an algorithm or program; it is essential in programming, as most programs perform repetitious tasks.
