Question 750250: A spinner is divided into 8 equal regions to represent the digits 1-8. In how many ways can the digits be arranged?
I know the answer is 5040 because our teachers gave us the answers on the bottom of the paper. I thought it would be solved by doing 8! (8 factorial), but I cannot seem to solve it to get the correct answer provided.

A spinner is divided into 8 equal regions to represent the digits 1-8. In how many ways can the digits be arranged?
I know the answer is 5040
------------------
They are arranged in a circle so the answer is 7! = 5040
-----------------
Try it with 3 objects and you'll see what happens.
The answer is not 3!, it is 2! = 2
