explain recursion in python code example

Example: recuursion python

# Reccursion in python 
def recursive_method(n):
    if n == 1:
        return 1 
    else:
        return n * recursive_method(n-1)
    # 5 * factorial_recursive(4)
    # 5 * 4 * factorial_recursive(3)
    # 5 * 4 * 3 * factorial_recursive(2)
    # 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * factorial_recursive(1)
    # 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120
num = int(input('enter num '))
print(recursive_method(num))
