For some reason my brain isn't working and my friend called me and needs help but I can't figure it out.

There is a bag containing 10 white balls and 9 red balls. How many different combination of balls can be pulled out to yield 6 red and 7 white balls?

For example you can pull out w1-7 and r1-6 for one combination.

I know this is going to be some formula containing factorial in it. Can someone explain to me how to come up with a formula? I'll toss some FG your way.

I'm probably making this question a lot harder than it actually is.

For calculator:
nCr(10,7) * nCr(9,6)

or

use this formula to get it in factorial mode



E: looks like it's 10080
