                         6               9

 

         1              4                7              (6C4*9C7)

 

         2              5                6              6C5*9C6

 

         3              6                5              6C6*9C5

 

6C4*9C7 = 15 x 36 = 540

 

6C5*9C6 = 6 x 84 = 504

 

 6C6*9C5= 1 x 126 = 126
