Math Problem Statement

10!/((10-3)! * 3!)

Solution

To solve the expression 10!(103)!3!\frac{10!}{(10-3)! \cdot 3!}, we can simplify it step-by-step.

Step 1: Understand the Expression

The expression given is:

10!(103)!3!\frac{10!}{(10-3)! \cdot 3!}

First, simplify the expression inside the parentheses:

103=710 - 3 = 7

So, the expression becomes:

10!7!3!\frac{10!}{7! \cdot 3!}

Step 2: Simplify the Factorial Expression

Recall that n!=n×(n1)×(n2)××1n! = n \times (n-1) \times (n-2) \times \ldots \times 1.

We can expand 10!10! as:

10!=10×9×8×7!10! = 10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7!

Thus, the expression can be rewritten as:

10×9×8×7!7!3!\frac{10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7!}{7! \cdot 3!}

The 7!7! in the numerator and the denominator cancel out, leaving:

10×9×83!\frac{10 \times 9 \times 8}{3!}

Step 3: Compute 3!3!

Calculate 3!3!:

3!=3×2×1=63! = 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 6

Step 4: Divide and Simplify

Now, substitute 3!3! back into the expression:

10×9×86\frac{10 \times 9 \times 8}{6}

Let's compute the numerator:

10×9=9010 \times 9 = 90 90×8=72090 \times 8 = 720

So, the expression is:

7206\frac{720}{6}

Now, divide:

7206=120\frac{720}{6} = 120

Final Answer

The value of the expression 10!(103)!3!\frac{10!}{(10-3)! \cdot 3!} is:

120\boxed{120}
