1. Given a group of n people. There are C(n, r) ways of forming groups of r out of n.

2. Where C(n, r)=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

3. For example, given {Andy, John, Julia}. We want to pick 2 people to give a gift: we can pick {(Andy, John), (Andy, Julia), (John, Julia)}, so there are 3 ways. So we can list and count.

4. Or we could do this with the formula C(3, 2)=\frac{3!}{2!(1)!}= \frac{3*2*1}{2*1}=3

5. C(8, 6)=\frac{8!}{2!6!}= \frac{8*7*6!}{2*6!}= \frac{8*7}{2}= 4*7=28

So there are C(8,6)=28 ways of chosing 6 out of 8 people to form the subcommittees. <span />
