What is the value of 13!/10! + 12!/9!?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 3036

Use factorial cancellation rather than expanding 13! and 12! completely. Since 13! = 13·12·11·10!, we have 13!/10! = 13·12·11 = 1716. Similarly, 12! = 12·11·10·9!, so 12!/9! = 12·11·10 = 1320. Adding the two simplified values gives 1716+1320 = 3036. Therefore option A is correct. The governing idea is k! = k(k−1)…1, which means the common lower factorial cancels exactly. Option B can result from an addition error, while C and D are not obtained from either correct quotient or their exact sum. Keeping the cancellation symbolic is both faster and less error-prone.
