#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#
