$_{10}C_3=120$

Work Step by Step

$_nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$ $n=10$ and $r=3$ $_{10}C_3=\frac{10!}{3!(10-3)!}=\frac{10!}{3!\times7!}$. But, $10!=10\times9\times8\times(7\times6\times\times4\times3\times2\times1)=10\times9\times8\times7!$ $_{10}C_3=\frac{10\times9\times8\times7!}{3!\times7!}=\frac{10\times9\times8}{3\times2\times1}=\frac{720}{6}=120$
