If \(\frac{n!}{(n-2)!}=42\), what is the value of (n)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 7

Since \(n! = n(n-1)(n-2)!\), \(\frac{n!}{(n-2)!}=n(n-1)\). Hence, \(n(n-1)=42\). The consecutive positive integers \(6\) and \(7\) have product \(42\), so \(n=7\). Option \(6\) is a close distractor, but \(6\times5=30\), not 42. Exam tip: in factorial fractions, first cancel the common factorial term and write the remaining consecutive factors.
