What is the value of (9!)/(7!) − 5!?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: −48

The governing concept is factorial cancellation. For positive integers, 9! = 9 × 8 × 7!, so 9!/7! = 9 × 8 = 72. Also, 5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120. Substituting these values into the expression gives 72 − 120 = −48. Therefore, option A is correct. The negative sign matters because 120 is larger than 72, and the expression subtracts 120 from 72. Option C is only the value of the quotient and ignores the subtraction. Option D is only 5!, while option B has the wrong sign. Cancelling factorials first is faster and avoids calculating 9! as a very large number.
