Find the value of the expression. 7! ÷ 3! 5,040 5,034 840 24

Answer 1

First, let's review what the "factorial operator" ! means.

5! = 5*4*3*2*1.

3! = 3*2*1

7! = 7*6*5*4*3*2*1

Then:

7! 7*6*5*4*3*2*1 7*6*5*4 5040
----- = ----------------------- = ------------- = ----------- = 5040 (answer)
3! 3*2*1 1 1
