Math Factorials

How do you add and subtract factorials?
Is it like this?
2! + 3!= 2+6?
5!-2!=120-2?

Actually 2! is 2*1=2 and 3! is 3*2*1=6
And 5! = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120. You were right mvpshaq32

Alright thank you.
I was in tutoring and they were talking about factorials and I was playing my friends Gameboy SP so I didn't hear anything they said. I never learned factorials before so I just wondered.
