The steps for evaluating an expression like that will be different for different calculators. I use a TI84, which is one of the most widely used calculators. Below are the steps for how to evaluate 6C4 on the TI84. If you have a different calculator, you can re-post your question, telling what calculator you have; maybe someone out there who has the same kind of calculator can then help you.

Evaluating 6C4 on the TI84:
press 6
press MATH
press right arrow 3 times to highlight PRB (probability)
press 3 (nCr option)
press 4
ENTER

Or, if you want to do the calculation the slow way, the expression 6C4 is
= =
and similarly for the other nCr expressions.
