Evaluate the combination:

7C5

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 = 7 and r = 5

7C5  2  7!
  5!(7 - 5)!

Factorial Formula:

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

Calculate the numerator n!:

n! = 7!

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

7! = 5,040

Calculate (n - r)!:

(n - r)! = (7 - 5)!

(7 - 5)! = 2!

2! = 2 x 1

2! = 2

Calculate r!:

r! = 5!

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

5! = 120

Calculate 7C5

7C5  =  5,040
  120 x 2

7C5  =  5,040
  240

7C5 = 21
