Question

Find the value of the following: 11!8!/12!6!

If your answer is not an integer, write it as an exact fraction.

Answer 1

14/3

Explanation:

`(11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*8*7*6*5*4*3*2)/(12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*6*5*4*3*2)`

You have this huge fraction and basically what you do is you cancel out all the numbers that are on the top and the bottom so it would be:

`(7*8)/(12)`

Now, you can just simplify this: 56/12 = 14/3
