Evaluate the combination:

29C2

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 = 29 and r = 2
29C2  2  29!
  2!(29 - 2)!

Factorial Formula:

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

Calculate the numerator n!:

n! = 29!

29! = 29 x 28 x 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

29! = 8,841,761,993,739,700,772,720,181,510,144

Calculate (n - r)!:

(n - r)! = (29 - 2)!

(29 - 2)! = 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 r!:

r! = 2!

2! = 2 x 1

2! = 2

Calculate 29C2
29C2  =  8,841,761,993,739,700,772,720,181,510,144
  2 x 10,888,869,450,418,351,940,239,884,288

29C2  =  8,841,761,993,739,700,772,720,181,510,144
  21,777,738,900,836,703,880,479,768,576
