To solve this problem, we treat each folder as a single unit or block. Thus, we have 3 blocks: Family, Holiday, and Friends.

The number of ways to arrange these 3 blocks is given by the factorial of the number of blocks:

\(3! = 6\)

Within each block, the images can be arranged among themselves. Therefore, we calculate the factorial for each folder:

Family folder: \(3! = 6\)

Holiday folder: \(4! = 24\)

Friends folder: \(8! = 40,320\)

The total number of arrangements is the product of these factorials:

\(3! \times 3! \times 4! \times 8! = 6 \times 6 \times 24 \times 40,320 = 34,836,480\)
