How many different committees of 7 people can be formed from a group of 10 people
-----------
Choose 1 of 10, then 1 of 9, etc
--> 10*9*8*7*6*5*4 = 604800
-----
But, choosing A,B,C,D,E,F,G is the same as A,C,D,E,F,G,B. There are 7*6*5*4*3*2*1 ways to choose any group of 7, = 5040 ways.
---
604800/5040 = 120 different committees.
-----
= 10!/7!
