Formula for combinations:
#C(n,r)=frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}#

Let #n=10#, and let #r=6#

#C(10,6)=frac{10!}{6!(10-6)!}#

#=frac{10!}{6!*4!}#

#=frac{10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{6*5*4*3*2*1*4*3*2*1}#

#=frac{10*color(blue)(9)*color(green)(8)*7*cancel(6*5)*cancel(4*3*2*1)}{cancel(6*5)*color(green)(4)*color(blue)(3)*color(green)(2)*1*cancel(4*3*2*1)}#

#=frac{10*3*7}{1}#

#=210#
