What is the value of (9! / 8! + 6! / 5!)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 15

Use the adjacent-factorial identity n!/(n−1)! = n, which follows directly from n! = n × (n−1)!. Thus 9!/8! = 9 because 9! = 9 × 8!, and 6!/5! = 6 because 6! = 6 × 5!. Adding these simplified values gives 9 + 6 = 15. Therefore, option C is correct. It is unnecessary and inefficient to calculate the very large values of 9! and 6! separately. Option A is two less than the correct sum, option B can result from an arithmetic mistake, and option D is one more than the correct answer. The denominators 8! and 5! are non-zero, so the cancellation is valid and the result is exact.
