Working from the definition of convolution, ( f g ) ( t ) := 0 t f ( s ) g ( t s ) d s, and using the fact that ∗ is associative, we see
1 1 = 0 t 1 1 d s = t 1 1 1 = ( 1 1 ) 1 = t 1 = 0 t s d s = t 2 2 1 1 1 1 = ( 1 1 1 ) 1 = t 2 2 1 = 0 t s 2 2 d s = t 3 3 2 1 1 1 1 1 = ( 1 1 1 1 ) 1 = t 3 3 2 1 = 0 t s 3 3 2 d s = t 4 4 3 2 ( 1 1 1 ) n  times = t n 1 ( n 1 ) ! .

For two functions f ( t ) , g ( t )
L ( ( f g ) ( t ) ) = L ( f ( t ) ) L ( g ( t ) )
Since L ( 1 ( t ) ) = 1 s it follows that
L ( 1 1 1 n   times ) = 1 s n
Now,
L ( t n 1 ) = ( n 1 ) ! s n
hence comparing, 1 1 1 n   times = t n 1 ( n 1 ) !
