Step 1
This is just like you are given 10 lines on a paper and you have to arrange 10 names on those 10 lines in all different ways.
So, starting with the lowermost line, you can put one of 10 names on that line and then on the line above that you can put 1 of 9 names and so on.
Step 2
So the total ways to arrange all the names on those lines in all ways will be:
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 = 10 !
