C2 Maths Question Help

I'm doing some homework on geometric series and one of the questions asks to find 6C3
(that's a superscript 6 - to the power of)

I've never seen this type of question before and I dont even know how to do it - it doesn't look like anything I've been taught in class.

Ok thanks a lot. My teacher giving me work on things we haven't learnt yet lmao.

The answer is 20 right?

6x5x4x3x2x1/(3x2x1)x3x2x1
