Evaluate the combination:
15C2
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 = 2
| 15C2 2 | 15! |
| 2!(15 - 2)! |
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 - 2)!
(15 - 2)! = 13!
13! = 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
13! = 6,227,020,800
Calculate r!:
r! = 2!
2! = 2 x 1
2! = 2
Calculate 15C2
| 15C2 = | 1,307,674,368,000 |
| 2 x 6,227,020,800 |
| 15C2 = | 1,307,674,368,000 |
| 12,454,041,600 |
15C2 = 105
