ILLINOIS is an 8-letter word.  If you could tell the 2 L's apart and the 3 I's
apart, the answer would be 8!, but since you can't tell the 2 L's apart, you need to
divide by the number of ways to arrange them, which is 2!.  Also since you can't
tell the 3 I's apart, you need to divide by the number of ways to arrange them,
which is 3!.
