Did you mean (1001!-998!)/999! ? If so, it is
(1001*1000*999 - 1)/999 = 999998999/999

Otherwise if you just wanted 1001! - 998!/999!, it is equal to 1001! - 1/999

(1001! - 998!)/(999!)
(998!((1001 * 1000 * 999) - 1))/(999 * 998!)
((1001 * 1000 * 999) - 1)/(999)
(1001 * 1000) - (1/999)

ANS : 1001000 - (1/999) or (99999899/999) or 1000999 998/999

It depends on how you wanna write it.
