Math Problem Statement

10! 4! / 8! 6! =

Solution

To solve the expression:

10!×4!8!×6!\frac{10! \times 4!}{8! \times 6!}

We start by simplifying the factorials:

  • 10!=10×9×8!10! = 10 \times 9 \times 8!
  • 8!=8!8! = 8!
  • 6!=6!6! = 6!
  • 4!=4×3×2×1=244! = 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 24

Now, cancel out the common factorials:

10×9×8!×4!8!×6!=10×9×246!\frac{10 \times 9 \times 8! \times 4!}{8! \times 6!} = \frac{10 \times 9 \times 24}{6!}

Next, simplify 6!=6×5×4×3×2×1=7206! = 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 720.

Now, substitute 6!=7206! = 720 and calculate the result:

10×9×24720=2160720=3\frac{10 \times 9 \times 24}{720} = \frac{2160}{720} = 3

Thus, the value of the expression is:

3\boxed{3}
