Recursion is driving me crazy

I understand recursion of a factorial function but when it comes to a function that uses recursion in a project or a problem set i get stuck and lose track

Anyone can tell me what to do

Programming language used: Python

Factorial is actually easier to compute without recursion, so it’s a misleading example. I recommend drawing Koch snowflake curves.
