Question 1149501: Slimp's Bookstore receives a box of books from each of five paperback publishers. Each box contains 23 different titles. The store manager decides there is room to display 4 books from each of 3 of the publishers. How many ways can the display be chosen? (Round your answer to the nearest one billion.)

You do all calculations, following my instructions.
