Evaluate the combination:

45C6

Combination Definition:

A unique order or arrangement

Combination Formula:
nCr  =  n!
  r!(n - r)!

where n is the number of items
r is the unique arrangements.

Plug in n = 45 and r = 6
45C6  2  45!
  6!(45 - 6)!

Factorial Formula:

n! = n * (n - 1) * (n - 2) * .... * 2 * 1

Calculate the numerator n!:

n! = 45!

45! = 45 x 44 x 43 x 42 x 41 x 40 x 39 x 38 x 37 x 36 x 35 x 34 x 33 x 32 x 31 x 30 x 29 x 28 x 27 x 26 x 25 x 24 x 23 x 22 x 21 x 20 x 19 x 18 x 17 x 16 x 15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

45! = 119,622,220,865,480,188,574,992,723,157,469,373,503,186,265,858,579,103,744

Calculate (n - r)!:

(n - r)! = (45 - 6)!

(45 - 6)! = 39!

39! = 39 x 38 x 37 x 36 x 35 x 34 x 33 x 32 x 31 x 30 x 29 x 28 x 27 x 26 x 25 x 24 x 23 x 22 x 21 x 20 x 19 x 18 x 17 x 16 x 15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

39! = 20,397,882,081,197,441,587,828,472,941,238,084,160,318,341,120

Calculate r!:

r! = 6!

6! = 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

6! = 720

Calculate 45C6
45C6  =  119,622,220,865,480,188,574,992,723,157,469,373,503,186,265,858,579,103,744
  720 x 20,397,882,081,197,441,587,828,472,941,238,084,160,318,341,120

45C6  =  119,622,220,865,480,188,574,992,723,157,469,373,503,186,265,858,579,103,744
