Best Answer

The first of the three can be any one of 6 numbers. For each of these choices, the second of the three can be any one of 5 numbers. For each of these choices, the third of the three can be any one of 4 numbers. So there are (6 times 5 times 4) ways to pull three numbers out of the six available = 120 ways. If you don't care what order you wind up with ... meaning, if 1-3-5 and 5-1-3 and 3-1-5 are all the same thing as far as you're concerned ... then there are only 20 different groups of three that you can wind up with.

Why you use commas when writing large numbers?

In representing large numbers, English texts use commas (or spaces) to separate each group of three digits. This is almost always done for numbers of six or more digits, and optionally for five (or even four) digits. This makes it easier to read the number without having to count how many place holders there are in the number as a whole.
