Answer

$70$

Work Step by Step

Cancelling the common factors between the numerator and the denominator, the given expression, $ \dfrac{8\cdot7\cdot5\cdot6}{4\cdot3\cdot2\cdot1} ,$ is equivalent to \begin{align*}\require{cancel} & \dfrac{\cancel8\cdot7\cdot5\cdot6}{\cancel4\cdot3\cdot\cancel2\cdot1} \\\\&= \dfrac{7\cdot5\cdot6}{3\cdot1} \\\\&= \dfrac{7\cdot5\cdot\cancel6^2}{\cancel3\cdot1} \\\\&= 7(5)(2) \\&= 70 .\end{align*} Hence, the given expression simplifies to $ 70 .$
