in each row and in each column there  can only be maximally one rook.   since we have 8 rooks, we must place  one rook in each row.  to place the rook in the first row,  there are 8 ways.  to place the rook in the second row,  there are only 7 ways.  to place the rook in the third row,  there are only 6 ways.  etc.  totally there are  8×7×6×...×2×1=8! ways.
