Combination Formula:

nCr  =  n!
  r!(n - r)!

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

Plug in n = 6 and r = 2

6C2  2  6!
  2!(6 - 2)!

Factorial Formula:

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

Calculate the numerator n!:

n! = 6!

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

6! = 720

Calculate (n - r)!:

(n - r)! = (6 - 2)!

(6 - 2)! = 4!

4! = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4! = 24

Calculate r!:

r! = 2!

2! = 2 x 1

2! = 2

Calculate 6C2

6C2  =  720
  2 x 24

6C2  =  720
