C(6,6)=1

Explanation:

C(6,6): the number of ways of choosing 6 items from a population of 6 items (when order of choice is irrelevant).

With only a little thought, it should be obvious that there is only 1 way to select all items from a group.

If you wish to use the general formula C(n,a) = (n!)/(a!(n-a)!)

color(white)("XXX")C(6,6) =(6!)/(6!*0!) =cancel(6!)/(cancel(6!)*1) = 1/1 =1
