Ascending factorial

An ascending factorial is like counting in a special way, where you start with a number and keep adding it to itself but also adding 1 to the addend each time. Let's pretend we start with the number 2. First, we add 2 to itself: 2+2=4. Then, we add 2+1 to 4: 2+1+4=7. After that, we add 2+2+1 to 7: 2+2+1+7=12, and so on.

Each time we add a number, we are multiplying the current result by a number that gets bigger and bigger. So, the 1st ascending factorial of 2 is 2, the 2nd is 6 (2x3), the 3rd is 12 (2x3x4), and so on.

It's like building a tower of blocks, with each block being bigger than the one below it. And just like with a tower of blocks, the higher we go, the bigger and more impressive it becomes!
