*[tex \Large {{n}\choose{k}}] (read &quot;n choose k&quot;) is the number of combinations of *[tex \Large n] things taken *[tex \Large k] at a time and is calculated by *[tex \Large \frac{n!}{k!(n\,-\,k)!}]


You need to calculate *[tex \Large {{60}\choose{9}}]


You need a BIG calculator, or do the arithmetic in a spreadsheet.  If this were a number of dollars, the answer is on the order of magnitude of the national debt.
