Question 1194811
<font color=black size=3>
If all 16 books were distinguishable from one another, then we'd have 16! = 20,922,789,888,000 possible permutations. The exclamation mark indicates a factorial.


16! = 16*15*14*...*3*2*1 = 20,922,789,888,000
This massive number has 14 digits and the number is a bit under 21 trillion.


That would be the answer if we could tell every book apart. However, 6 of the books are identical math books which we cannot tell apart. This means we have to divide by 6! = 6*5*4*3*2*1 = 720 to correct for the erroneous overcounting. 
The same goes for the 7 identical science books and 3 identical English books.


7! = 7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 5040
3! = 3*2*1 = 6


Overall we have to divide by 6!*7!*3! = 720*5040*6 = 21,772,800


We get to
(20,922,789,888,000)/(21,772,800) = 960,960



Answer: <font color=red>960,960</font>
It's not a typo that the "960" is written twice.
Delete the comma if necessary.
