Evaluate the combination:

27C2

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 = 27 and r = 2

27C2 2	27!
	2!(27 - 2)!

Factorial Formula:

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

Calculate the numerator n!:

n! = 27!

27! = 27 x 26 x 25 x 24 x 23 x 22 x 21 x 20 x 19 x 18 x 17 x 16 x 15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

27! = 10,888,869,450,418,351,940,239,884,288

Calculate (n - r)!:

(n - r)! = (27 - 2)!

(27 - 2)! = 25!

25! = 25 x 24 x 23 x 22 x 21 x 20 x 19 x 18 x 17 x 16 x 15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

25! = 15,511,210,043,330,986,055,303,168

Calculate r!:

r! = 2!

2! = 2 x 1

2! = 2

Calculate 27C2

27C2 =	10,888,869,450,418,351,940,239,884,288
	2 x 15,511,210,043,330,986,055,303,168

27C2 =	10,888,869,450,418,351,940,239,884,288
	31,022,420,086,661,972,110,606,336
