Combinatoric selections

There are exactly ten ways of selecting three from five, 12345:
123, 124, 125, 134, 135, 145, 234, 235, 245, and 345
In combinatorics, we use the notation, ⁵C₃ = 10.
In general,
ⁿCᵣ = n! / r!(n−r)! ,where r ≤ n, n! = n×(n−1)×...×3×2×1, and 0! = 1.
It is not until n = 23, that a value exceeds one-million: ²³C₁₀ = 1144066.
How many, not necessarily distinct, values of ⁿCᵣ, for 1 ≤ n ≤ 100, are greater than one-million?
