There are 14 entrees available at a restaurant. From these, Archie is to choose 6 for his party. How many groups of 6 entrees can he choose, assuming that the order of the entrees chosen does not matter?
---------
14*13*12*11*10*9/(6*5*4*3*2*1)
-----------
The denominator is due to there being no order.
