You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(5! - \frac{3!}{2!}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[5! - \frac{3!}{2!} = 117\]


\[\begin{aligned}5! - \frac{3!}{2!}& = 5! - 3! \cdot \frac{1}{2!}\\& = 120 - 3! \cdot \frac{1}{2!}\\& = 120 - 6 \cdot \frac{1}{2!}\\& = 120 - \frac{6}{2}\\& = 120 - 3\\& = 117\end{aligned}\]
