Default How do I solve this?

Aside from my final in two weeks, today hopefully marks the last effing math test I'll ever have to take. Here's a homework problem I can't solve:

1. A group of 30 people is selected at random. What is the probability that at least two of them will have the same birthday?

I think this is kind of how it's supposed to be setup:

n(E') = 365P3 = 365!/(365-30)!

That's as far as I can get. Most calculators can't solve such high numbers.

The answer in the back says: 0.71
