To take the common factor from numerator and denominator, factorize the bigger term in factorials.

The formula to calculate the factors of a factorial in terms of factorial itself is,

n!=n( n1 )! n!=n( n1 )( n2 )![ n2 ]

The given expression can be written as,

8! 6!×2! = 8×7×6! 6!×2!

Cancel the common factors from numerator and denominator.

8! 6!×2! = 8×7 2×1 =4×7 =28

Thus, the value of 8! 6!×2! is 28.
