Math Problem Statement

Simplify the expression: \( \frac{1}{5!} + \frac{1}{6!} + \frac{1}{7!} \div \left( \frac{1}{6!} - \frac{1}{7!} + \frac{1}{8!} \right) \).

Solution

The given expression simplifies to:

15!+16!+17!÷(16!17!+18!)=40049\frac{1}{5!} + \frac{1}{6!} + \frac{1}{7!} \div \left( \frac{1}{6!} - \frac{1}{7!} + \frac{1}{8!} \right) = \frac{400}{49}

Would you like more details on the steps, or do you have any questions?

Here are some related questions:

  1. What is the general formula for a factorial?
  2. How do factorials grow as the number increases?
  3. Can the value of 40049\frac{400}{49} be further simplified?
  4. How do you handle more complex factorial expressions?
  5. What are some practical applications of factorials in probability and statistics?

Tip: Factorials grow extremely fast, making numbers very large even for small nn.
