In how many ways can 30 school teachers be assigned to 6 schools, with each school receiving an equal number of teachers?
----------
5 per school.

For the 1st school:
1 of 30, then 1 of 29, then 1 of 28, etc
--> 30*29*28*27*26 = 17100720 ways
But, selecting A, B, C, D & E is the same as E, D, C, B & A
--> 17100720/(5*4*3*2*1) = 142506 ways
===============
That leaves 25 teachers for 5 schools.
Can you do the rest?
