They're used in permutations and combinations a lot. Combinations is pretty obvious based on the name. Given X things, how many ways are there to choose Y. Permutations are the same but where order matters.

For example, if you shuffle a deck of cards properly randomly there will be 52! possible orderings (permutations).
