Family quiz time.

I need to make 773 from the numbers:

75
2
8
4
10
10

Using normal countdown rules (only plus minus multiplication and division, no negative numbers or fractions)

I can do it using 4! but factorial is not within the rules.

Help!

((10 * 8 + 75) * 10 - 4) / 2 = 773

10*8=80
80+75=155
155*10=1550
1550-4=1546
1546/2 = 773
