How many distinct committees of 6 people can be formed if the people are drawn from a pool of 17 people? use factorials to express the answer

There are several information's already given in the question. Based on those given information's the answer to the question can be easily deduced.
Number of people in each committee = 6
Then
Number of distinct committees of 6 people = 17/[(17 - 6) * 6]
                                                                    = 17/(11 * 6)
                                                                    = 17!/11!6!
I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and the answer has actually come to your desired help.
