If \(\frac{n!}{(n-3)!}=120\), what is the value of (n)?

Correct answer: 6

Using \(n!=n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)!\), we get \(\frac{n!}{(n-3)!}=n(n-1)(n-2)\). Hence, \(n(n-1)(n-2)=120\). For \(n=6\), \(6\times5\times4=120\), so 6 is correct. The closest option, \(n=5\), gives \(5\times4\times3=60\), not 120. Exam tip: In a factorial fraction, cancel the common factorial term and write the remaining consecutive factors.
