(^{12}C_{8}\frac{12!}{8!(12-8)!}=\frac{12!}{8!4!}\frac{(12\times 11\times 10\times 9\times 8\times 7\times 6\times 5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1)}{8\times 7\times 6\times 5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1}\After\hspace{1mm} cancelling \hspace{1mm}out \hspace{1mm}we\hspace{1mm} have\11\times 5\times 9 = 495 )
