Evaluate the combination:

52C6

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 = 52 and r = 6
52C6  2  52!
  6!(52 - 6)!

Factorial Formula:

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

Calculate the numerator n!:

n! = 52!

52! = 52 x 51 x 50 x 49 x 48 x 47 x 46 x 45 x 44 x 43 x 42 x 41 x 40 x 39 x 38 x 37 x 36 x 35 x 34 x 33 x 32 x 31 x 30 x 29 x 28 x 27 x 26 x 25 x 24 x 23 x 22 x 21 x 20 x 19 x 18 x 17 x 16 x 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

52! = 80,658,175,170,943,876,845,634,591,553,351,679,477,960,544,579,306,048,386,139,594,686,464

Calculate (n - r)!:

(n - r)! = (52 - 6)!

(52 - 6)! = 46!

46! = 46 x 45 x 44 x 43 x 42 x 41 x 40 x 39 x 38 x 37 x 36 x 35 x 34 x 33 x 32 x 31 x 30 x 29 x 28 x 27 x 26 x 25 x 24 x 23 x 22 x 21 x 20 x 19 x 18 x 17 x 16 x 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

46! = 5,502,622,159,812,088,456,668,950,435,842,974,564,586,819,473,162,983,440,384

Calculate r!:

r! = 6!

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

6! = 720

Calculate 52C6
52C6  =  80,658,175,170,943,876,845,634,591,553,351,679,477,960,544,579,306,048,386,139,594,686,464
  720 x 5,502,622,159,812,088,456,668,950,435,842,974,564,586,819,473,162,983,440,384

52C6  =  80,658,175,170,943,876,845,634,591,553,351,679,477,960,544,579,306,048,386,139,594,686,464
