17! / 4! x 13! Answers: .0238 23,800 2,380 Some number less than 1
17! = 17 x16 x15x...x1 but there is a button on your calculator that will do this also, so ust type 1in 17 and hit the factoria button ( which is normally an n followed by an exclamation mark)
Alternativey, you coud note that 17! = 17 x 16 x15 x 14 x 13 x12...etc but 13! aso has 13x 12 ...etc so these would cancel each other to leave: 17 x 16 x 15 x 14/3!
This is so confusing..
what is?
this whole thing.
these are known as factorials, in simpe terms it means if I have 17! (which you pronounce as "17 factorial") it means multiply 17 x 16 x 15 etc all the wway down to 1. Nothing more to it. Its a shorthand way of saying this.
ok but i cant find my final answer.
17 x16 x15 x14 = 57120 Now to divide by 4! = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24 so we get 57120 /24 = 2380
oh ok. thnx.

lol ok. thnx
It's just that 17! =17*16*15*14*13*12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 ============================= = 4!*13! 4*3*2*1*13*12*11*10**9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1
Now,cancel from 13 to 1 from both numerator and denominator.
17*16*15*14 ========= = 4*3*2*1
