**Problem: Evaluate the factorial expression.**

\[ 7! - 4! \]

---

**Solution:**

To evaluate the expression \(7! - 4!\), we need to calculate the factorial of each number and then subtract.

- \(7!\) (7 factorial) is the product of all positive integers from 1 to 7:

  \[
  7! = 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 5040
  \]

- \(4!\) (4 factorial) is the product of all positive integers from 1 to 4:

  \[
  4! = 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 24
  \]

Now, subtract the two values:

\[ 
7! - 4! = 5040 - 24 = 5016 
\]

Place the answer in the box.

\[ \boxed{5016} \]
