You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You need to find the various combinations that don't allow repetition. That means, the order of the people in the group doesn't matter.
Look at this URL http://www.mathsisfun.com/combinatorics/combinations-permutations.html
Scroll to the bottom and see the equation is given by
n!/(r!(n-r)!)
n is 10, r is 6. so plug in and solve
10! / (6! * 4!)
