Prove that $\int_{0}^{a}dx\int_{0}^{x}dy\int_{0}^{y}f(x)f(y)f(z)dz=\frac{1}{3!}\left(\int_{0}^{a}f(t)dt\right)^3$.

My question is how to prove that $$\int_{0}^{a}dx\int_{0}^{x}dy\int_{0}^{y}f(x)f(y)f(z)dz=\frac{1}{3!}\left(\int_{0}^{a}f(t)dt\right)^3$$. $f$ is a continuous function. It is an exercise from my calculus book in section: integrate on the bounded…
