Answer

$120$

Work Step by Step

Using $n!=n(n-1)(n-2)\cdot...(3)(2)(1),$ the given expression, $ \dfrac{10!}{7!\text{ }3!} ,$ simplifies to \begin{align*}\require{cancel} & \dfrac{10(9)(8)(7!)}{7!\text{ }3(2)(1)} \\\\&= \dfrac{10(9)(8)(\cancel{7!})}{\cancel{7!}\text{ }3(2)(1)} \\\\&= \dfrac{10(\cancel9^3)(8)}{\cancel3(2)(1)} \\\\&= \dfrac{10(3)(\cancel8^4)}{\cancel2(1)} \\\\&= 10(3)(4) \\&= 120 .\end{align*} Hence, the given expression evaluates to $ 120 .$
