~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
One person from 15 persons for the 1st group can be selected in  {{{C[15]^1}}} = 15 ways. 

5 persons from 14 remaining persons for the 2nd group can be selected in  {{{C[14]^5}}} = 2002 ways. 

2 persons from  9 remaining persons for the 3rd group can be selected in  {{{C[9]^2}}}  =   36 ways. 

4 persons from  7 remaining persons for the 4th group can be selected in  {{{C[7]^4}}}  =   35 ways. 

3 persons from  3 remaining persons for the 5th group can be selected in  {{{C[3]^3}}}  =    1 way. 


The total number of ways to create 5 different groups as described and requested is  15*2002*36*35*1 = 37837800.
