n = 0 is not a solution so $n > 0$.
deviding both sides by n we get
$n + 19 = (n-1)!$
putting n = x+ 1 we get $x+20 = x!$
for this to be valud x is a factor of 20
so we check with 1 LHS = 21 and RHS = 1
x = 2 LHS = 22 RHS = 2 no
x = 4 LHS = 24 LHS = 24 so x = 4 is a solution
x = 5 LHS = 25 RHS = 125 not a solution
if we take x larger RHS grows larger as compared to LHS so no solution
so solution x = 4 or n = 5.
