For a set with a finite number, n, of elements, the number of subsets in 2^n. This includes the null set and the set itself. Things get a bit complicated if the original set has infinitely many elements. It is still 2^k but the complications arise because of infinities and transfinite numbers.
The number of elements. A set with n elements has 2n subsets; for example, a set with 5 elements has 25 = 32 subsets.
A set with 9 elements has 2^9 = 512 subsets.
Partitioning is dividing a set of things into subsets such that the union of all the subsets is the original set and the intersection of any two subsets is the null set. That is, between them, the subsets account for the whole of the original set and there are no elements in more than one subset.
There are 512 subsets in 123456789. This is because there are 9 elements. Take 2, and make it to the 9th power, this is 512, so there are 512 subsets.
thenumber of subsets = 8formula: number of subsets =2n; wheren is thenumber of elements in the set= 2n= 23= 8The subsets of 1,2,3 are:{ }, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1,2}, {2,3}, {1,3}, {1,2,3}
Elements can belong to subsets. Subsets can be elements of sets that are called "power sets".
Elements belong to subsets: subsets contain elements (from the parent set).
A finite set, with n elements has 2n subsets, including the empty set and itself. For infinite sets the number of subsets is the same order of infinity.
An element doesn't have subsets. Sets can have subsets.
The number of elements. A set with n elements has 2n subsets; for example, a set with 5 elements has 25 = 32 subsets.
512 subsets
A set with 9 elements has 2^9 = 512 subsets.

They are collections of some, or all, of the elements of the set. A set with n elements will have 2^n subsets.
A set with 50 elements has 250 subsets.
A set with n elements has 2n subsets. The number of proper subsets is one less, since 2n includes the set itself.
