Evaluate the combination:

11C8

Combination Definition:

A unique order or arrangement

Combination Formula:
nCr  =  n!
  r!(n - r)!

where n is the number of items
r is the unique arrangements.

Plug in n = 11 and r = 8
11C8  2  11!
  8!(11 - 8)!

Factorial Formula:

n! = n * (n - 1) * (n - 2) * .... * 2 * 1

Calculate the numerator n!:

n! = 11!

11! = 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

11! = 39,916,800

Calculate (n - r)!:

(n - r)! = (11 - 8)!

(11 - 8)! = 3!

3! = 3 x 2 x 1

3! = 6

Calculate r!:

r! = 8!

8! = 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

8! = 40,320

Calculate 11C8
11C8  =  39,916,800
  40,320 x 6

11C8  =  39,916,800
  241,920

11C8 = 165
