I hope you know what '!' means
2!=2
3!=6
4!=24
basicalkly times every natural number including and before that number


nCr=
(n!)/(r!(n-r)!)
so

(60C3)/(15C3)=

( (60!)/(3!(60-3)!) )/( (15!)/(3!(15-3)!) )=

( (60!)/(3!(60-3)!))((3!(15-3)!)/(15!))=

( (60!)/(3!(57)!))((3!(12)!)/(15!))=

((60!)(3!)(12!))/((3!)(57!)(15!))=

((60!)(12!))/((57!)(15!))=

((60!))/((57!)(15)(14)(13))=

((60)(59)(58))/((15)(14)(13))=

((30)(59)(58))/((15)(7)(13))=

((6)(59)(58))/((3)(7)(13))=

(6844)/(91)
