sequences and series - Summation notation for divided factorial.



I have the following sum



543+542+541+532+531+521+432+431+421+321



It is basically 5! divided by two of the numbers in the factorial. So



5!12+5!13+5!14+...+5!35+5!45




Is there a way to write this as a single summation?


Answer



You can write it as a single sum as follows



$$\frac{5!}{1\cdot2}+\frac{5!}{1\cdot3}+\frac{5!}{1\cdot4}+...+\frac{5!}{3\cdot5}+\frac{5!}{4\cdot5}=5!\sum_{1\le i
