I am at an end, can someone help me figure this equation to a whole number ;50!/2!(50-2)!=1225
(50 - 2)! = 48!
50! / [ 2! · (50 - 2)! ] = 50! / [2! · 48!]
Since 50! = 50 x 49 x 48 x 47 x 46 x 45 x ... x 3 x 2 x 1 <--- in the numerator
and 48! = 48 x 47 x 46 x 45 x ... x 3 x 2 x 1 <--- in the denominator
50! / 48! reduces to 50 x 49
Also: 2! = 2 x 1 = 2
After cancelling out, we have (50 x 49) / (2) = 25 x 49 = 1225
(50 - 2)! = 48!
50! / [ 2! · (50 - 2)! ] = 50! / [2! · 48!]
Since 50! = 50 x 49 x 48 x 47 x 46 x 45 x ... x 3 x 2 x 1 <--- in the numerator
and 48! = 48 x 47 x 46 x 45 x ... x 3 x 2 x 1 <--- in the denominator
50! / 48! reduces to 50 x 49
