Cyrus Hickman · Answer 1

Plug n = 18 and r = 6 into the nCr combination formula

n C r = (n!) / (r! * (n-r) !)

18 C 6 = (18!) / (6! * (18-6) !)

18 C 6 = (18!) / (6!*12!)

18 C 6 = (18*17*16*15*14*13*12!) / (6!*12!)

18 C 6 = (18*17*16*15*14*13) / (6!)

18 C 6 = (18*17*16*15*14*13) / (6*5*4*3*2*1)

18 C 6 = 13366080/720

18 C 6 = 18564

Answer: 18564
