    The answer to this question would be 792If A is the number of prizes and B is the number of people, the formula that needed to solve this question would be C (A+B-1, B-1)

    If you put the number it will become C (5+8-1, 8-1) = C (12,7)

    Then the possible way should be:

    12! / 7! 5! = 479001600 / 120*5040 = 792 ways
