What is the value of ( \frac{18!}{15!}-\frac{17!}{14!} )?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (816)

Expand each factorial quotient only as far as necessary. Since \\(18!=18\cdot17\cdot16\cdot15!\\), we get \\(18!/15!=18\cdot17\cdot16=4896\\). Similarly, \\(17!=17\cdot16\cdot15\cdot14!\\), so \\(17!/14!=17\cdot16\cdot15=4080\\). The required difference is therefore \\(4896-4080=816\\), making option B correct.

It is important not to calculate the complete factorials, because the common lower factorials cancel directly. Both products contain \\(17\cdot16\\), so the difference can also be checked as \\(17\cdot16(18-15)=272\cdot3=816\\). Thus the given computation and answer are consistent.
