Question 143059
The United States Congress is made up of 100 members of the Senate and 435 members of the House of Representatives. How many 5-member senatorial committees are possible?
--------------------
You want the "number of combinations of 100 objects taken in groups of five".
---------------------
100C5 = 100!/[95!*5!] = [100*99*98*97*96]/[1*2*3*4*5]
 = 75287520
