Evaluate the combination:

15C7

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 = 15 and r = 7
15C7  2  15!
  7!(15 - 7)!

Factorial Formula:

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

Calculate the numerator n!:

n! = 15!

15! = 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

15! = 1,307,674,368,000

Calculate (n - r)!:

(n - r)! = (15 - 7)!

(15 - 7)! = 8!

8! = 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

8! = 40,320

Calculate r!:

r! = 7!

7! = 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

7! = 5,040

Calculate 15C7
15C7  =  1,307,674,368,000
  5,040 x 40,320

15C7  =  1,307,674,368,000
  203,212,800
