I think it’s
P = 5, Q = 3, and R = 2.
This gives
$5! = 120 = 3 times 2^3 times 5$.
We note that
$P! = P times (P-1)!$, so $(P-1)! = R^Q times Q$. Noting that one of P, Q, and R had to be at least 5, I noted that $4 = 2^2$ and so $4 times 2 = 2^3$ was probably a convenient way to include these factors of $P!$.

It's:
$5!=3cdot2^3cdot5$
Because:
$P=5$ as there are exactly $3$ prime factors in the factorial.
Therefore $24=Qcdot R^Q=3cdot2^3$, and so $Q=3$ and $R=2$.

It's:
$5!=3cdot2^3cdot5$
Because:
$P=5$ as there are exactly $3$ prime factors in the factorial.
Therefore $24=Qcdot R^Q=3cdot2^3$, and so $Q=3$ and $R=2$.
