Homework Statement
How many ways can a deck of 52 cards be broken up into a collection of unordered piles of sizes:
Three piles of 8 cards and four piles of 7 cards?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
ohkay, the first step i used is to think of the different piles as labels and find all possible distribution of these labels among the 52 cards, that is equal to
(51!)/((7!)^4*(8!)^3)
but i don't know what to do next.
Thankyou for your help!
