In how many ways can five people sit round a circular table?

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. Round a table only the positions relative to each other matter, so fix one person's seat.
  2. The other 4 people can then be arranged in 4!=244! = 24 ways.
  3. So there are (5−1)!=24(5 - 1)! = 24 ways, option A.
