Answer

$20$

Work Step by Step

Using $n!=n(n-1)(n-2)\cdot\cdot\cdot(3)(2)(1)$ or the factorial of a number, the given expression, $ \dfrac{6!}{3!3!} ,$ evaluates to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} =\dfrac{6(5)(4)(3!)}{3!3!} \\\\= \dfrac{6(5)(4)(\cancel{3!})}{3!\cancel{3!}} \\\\= \dfrac{6(5)(4)}{3(2)(1)} \\\\= \dfrac{\cancel{6}(5)(4)}{\cancel{3(2)}(1)} \\\\= \dfrac{(5)(4)}{(1)} \\\\= 20 \end{array}
