4 C 2

${}_{4}C_{2}$

Step 1

Evaluate

4 C 2

${}_{4}C_{2}$ using the formula

n C r = \frac{n!}{(n - r)! r!}

${}_{n}C_{r} = \frac{n!}{(n - r)! r!}$ .

\frac{4!}{(4 - 2)! 2!}

$\frac{4!}{(4 - 2)! 2!}$

Step 2

Subtract

2

$2$ from

4

$4$ .

\frac{4!}{(2)! 2!}

$\frac{4!}{(2)! 2!}$

Step 3

Simplify

\frac{4!}{(2)! 2!}

$\frac{4!}{(2)! 2!}$ .
