Answer

$14,833, 897,694,226\approx 1.4834\times 10^{13}$

Work Step by Step

According to the binomial theorem, we have: $\displaystyle{n\choose k}=\dfrac{n!}{(n-k)! \ k!}$. Where $0!=1$ Substitute $47$ for $n$ and $25$ for $k$ in the above formula. Therefore, $\dbinom{47}{25}=\dfrac{47!}{25! \ (47-25)!} \\ =\dfrac{47!}{25! \ 22!}$ Now, we will use a calculator to find the result. $\dfrac{47!}{25! \ 22!}=14,833, 897,694,226$
