Solution

Step 1 :Rewrite the factorial expression \(\frac{18 !}{15 !(4-2) !}\) as \(\frac{18*17*16}{2*1}\) by cancelling out the common terms in the numerator and the denominator. This is possible because 15! is a common term in both the numerator and the denominator and (4-2)! is equal to 2!.

Step 2 :Calculate the value of the numerator, which is \(18*17*16 = 4896\).

Step 3 :Calculate the value of the denominator, which is \(2*1 = 2\).

Step 4 :Divide the numerator by the denominator to get the final answer, \(4896 / 2 = 2448.0\).

Step 5 :The value of the expression \(\frac{18 !}{15 !(4-2) !}\) is \(\boxed{2448}\).
