quick way:
on your calculator find a key usually labeled n!
(on mine to find 6!, I keystroke like this:
6
2ndF
n!
=
to get 720
so for (6!8!)/(9!5!) you should get 2/3 or .6666...
or
use the definitions:
also recall that the concept that 9! = 9x8!
since this suits our expression nicely we can say
(6!8!)/(9!5!)
= (6x5! 8!)/(9x8! 5!) , now cancel the 8! and the 5! )
= 6/9 = 2/3
