You can put this solution on YOUR website!
There are 7 dwarfs and 1 Snow White for a total of 8. The answer is 8!
Try it, it goes like this:
8! = 8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 40,320

Your calculator may have a ! key. The (free)calculator I have on my phone, which is what I use all the time, has it, all I have to do to solve your problem is enter 8 then press "shift" and the number 4 (the key "shift turns the 4 into n!)
