Plug in and

Subtract to get 2

Calculate 10! to get 3,628,800 (note: if you need help with factorials, check out this solver)

Calculate 2! to get 2

Calculate 8! to get 40,320

Multiply the values 2 and 40,320 to get 80,640

Divide 3,628,800 by 80,640 to get 45

So 10 choose 8 (where order does not matter) yields 45 unique combinations
