nbconvert into PDF fails to process exclamation mark in Latex

If I convert a cell into Markdown and type Latex expression $ \frac{1}{n!}$ there, then conversion to PDF fails (jupyter nbconvert --to pdf <filename>.ipynb).

I reported the bug here https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/issues/6189 but I'm looking for a quick workaround.

I need to type the exclamation mark in a fraction expression, and then convert the notebook into a PDF. How could I workaround this issue?

I was able to workaround this by using align* environment instead of $, like this:

\begin{align*}
\frac{1}{n!}
\end{align*}

Also it helped me troubleshoot it to export first to tex: jupyter nbconvert --to latex <filename>.ipynb, then play with the exported tex file and try to compile it (xelatex <filename>.tex)
