Here, we want to evaluate the factorial expression.


(23!)/(11(26-5)!)

by definition,


\begin{gathered} n!\text{ = }n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)\ldots3.2.1 \\ n!\text{ = }n(n-1)! \\ n!\text{ = }n(n-1)(n-2)! \end{gathered}
\Rightarrow(23!)/(11(26-5)!)=(23!)/(11(21)!)=(23*22*21!)/(11*21!)=(23*22)/(11)=46

Answer: 46
