I assume this is a division involving combinations???....if so, we have

 

C(44, 19)  / C (46, 19)   ≈  .339

 

"Worked out"  we have

 

(44! / [ (44 - 19)! (19)!] )  /  (46! / [46 - 19)! (19!] )  =

 

[44! / (44 - 19)!  ] / [ 46!  / (46 - 19)! ]  =

 

[44 !  (46 - 19) ! ] /  [46 ! ( 44 - 19) ! ]  =

 

 ([ 44 ! ] /[ 27 ! ]) / ( [ 46 ! ] [ 25 ! ] )   =

 

[27 * 26] / [ 46 * 45]  =  39 / 115  ≈  .339
