Disco

On the disco goes 12 boys and 15 girls. In how many ways can we select four dancing couples?

Result

n =  16216200

Solution:

n=(12⋅ 11⋅ 10⋅ 9)⋅ (15⋅ 14⋅ 13⋅ 12)/(4⋅ 3⋅ 2⋅ 1)=16216200=1.621620⋅107n=(12 \cdot \ 11 \cdot \ 10 \cdot \ 9) \cdot \ (15 \cdot \ 14 \cdot \ 13 \cdot \ 12)/(4 \cdot \ 3 \cdot \ 2 \cdot \ 1)=16216200=1.621620\cdot 10^{ 7 }
