I think I get it, but perhaps you could clarify. 44 choose 5 is 44 factorial divided by ((44 - 5) factorial times 5 factorial), hence 44!/(39! x 5!). So 119 choose 72 would be 119 factorial divided by ((119 - 72) times 72 factorial), which is 119!/(47! x 72!).

I intend to do actual Monte Carlo calculations, which I'd done 25 years ago concerning blackjack, but I'd like to know how to do the theoretic probability computations first, as a check of my results.

Thanks much!
