If n = 5, what is the value of (n + 3)!/(n + 1)! − (n + 1)!/n!?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 50

Factorials can be simplified by cancelling the common consecutive factors. Substituting n = 5 gives \\(\\frac{8!}{6!}-\\frac{6!}{5!}\\). Since \\(8!=8\\times7\\times6!\\), the first fraction equals \\(8\\times7=56\\). Also, \\(6!=6\\times5!\\), so the second fraction equals 6. The subtraction must be done after simplifying both fractions.

Therefore the required value is \\(56-6=50\\). This corresponds to option C, not option D. The result can also be checked directly from the general expression: \\(\\frac{(n+3)!}{(n+1)!}=(n+3)(n+2)\\) and \\(\\frac{(n+1)!}{n!}=n+1\\); for n = 5 this gives 8 × 7 − 6 = 50. Thus the supplied answer C is correct.
