Answer

$\dfrac{6!}{4!\text{ }2!}=15$

Work Step by Step

Using $n!=n(n-1)(n-2)...(3)(2)(1),$ the value of the given expression, $ \dfrac{6!}{4!\text{ }2!} ,$ is \begin{align*}\require{cancel} & \dfrac{6(5)(4!)}{4!\text{ }2!} \\\\&= \dfrac{6(5)(\cancel{4!})}{\cancel{4!}\text{ }2!} \\\\&= \dfrac{6(5)}{2!} \\\\&= \dfrac{6(5)}{2(1)} \\\\&= \dfrac{\cancel6^3(5)}{\cancel2(1)} \\\\&= 3(5) \\&= 15 .\end{align*} Hence, $ \dfrac{6!}{4!\text{ }2!}=15 $.
