Factorial - Wikipedia
1 week ago - The word "factorial" (originally French: factorielle) was first used in 1800 by Louis François Antoine Arbogast, in the first work on Faà di Bruno's formula, but referring to a more general concept of products of arithmetic progressions. The "factors" that this name refers to are the terms of the product formula for the factorial. ... {\displaystyle n!=1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdots (n-2)\cdot (n-1)\cdot n.} This may be written more concisely in product notation as

ELI5: What is a factorial and how does it work
To calculate the factorial of a number, multiply it by all whole numbers below it.  For example, 5! = 5x4x3x2x1 = 120. One use of factorials is to find the number of permutations (orders).  For example, if 5 people run in a race, any of the 5 people can finish first, any of the 4 remaining people can finish second, any of the remaining 3 people can finish third, any of the 2 remaining people can finish fourth, and the last remaining person finishes last.  So there are 5! = 5x4x3x2x1 = 120 different possible race results.

You haven't really given enough information, but I will try to give some ideas. One method is to first construct the complete design with $n=3^3$, and then use some algorithm for optimal experimental design, say D-optimality, there are R implementations in the packages AlgDesign and OptimalDesign, on CRAN, see https://CRAN.R-project.org/view=ExperimentalDesign. But here I will exemplify another approach (maybe they can be combined), construction fractional factorial designs directly with algebraic methods , using the CRAN package planor (*). See https://r2012-bordeaux.sciencesconf.org/file/14501 for more details and examples!

library(planor)
# Note that planor is now archived, but it can still be 
# found at CRAN under 'archived', and is still usable 
ex1key  <-  planor.designkey(factors=c("block", LETTERS[1:3]),
                             nlevels = c(3, rep(3, 3)),
                             block = ~ block,  
                             model= ~ block+ (A+B+C)^2,
                             estimate= ~ A + B + C ,
                             nunits=3*3^2, max.sol=1)
          Preliminary step 1 : processing the model specifications
Preliminary step 2 : performing prime decompositions on the factors
*** Main step for prime p = 3 : key-matrix search
  => search for columns 2 to 4 
      first visit to column 2
      first visit to column 3
    ---    col. 3 ( j = 2) 22 selected candidates
      first visit to column 4
    ---    col. 4 ( j = 3) 18 selected candidates
The search is closed: max.sol = 1 solution(s) found
