Assuming the mathematical definition of "combination" (ie unordered sets) and the standard 26 letter Latin Alphabet as used by English:

There are 5 vowels and 21 consonants, giving:

For each vowel: a choice of 3 consonants from 21, giving 5 x 21 C 3 = 5 x (21x20x19)/(3x2x1) = 6650 combinations

[Other languages have different size alphabets and different vowel/consonants (eg Welsh, which uses the Latin Alphabet characters, has 7 vowels and 23 consonants.)]

If you have a subset of the full Latin Alphabet, or another Alphabet, then you'll need to supply the set of letters for which you wish an answer.

How many license plate combinations from 3 digits followed by 3 letters?

There are 26 different letters that can be chosen for each letter. There are 10 different numbers that can be chosen for each number. Since each of the numbers/digits that can be chosen for each of the six "spots" are independent events, we can multiply these combinations using the multiplicative rule of probability.combinations = (# of different digits) * (# of different digits) * (# of different digits) * (# of different letters) * (# of different letters) * (# of different letters) = 10 * 10 * 10 * 26 * 26 * 26 = 103 * 263 = 1000 * 17576 = 17,576,000 different combinations.


How many combinations do you get when you have three letters and three numbers?

720 is the number of ways to combine three known letters and three known numbers.For example, the letters A, B & C and the numbers 1, 2 & 3. The total combinations of these 6 characters is:(6 options)*(5 options)*(4)*(3)*(2)*(1) = 720.However, if the three numbers and three letters are unknown and any number or letter is possible, and repeated numbers or letters are acceptable (such as with a license plate), then the total possibilities for each "space" are multiplied together:(26 possibilities)*(26 possibilities)*(26 possibilities)*(10 possibilities)*(10 " ")*(10 " ") = 17,576,000 combinations.That is, there are 26 letters in the alphabet and 10 numbers (0 thru 9).This is assuming that three of the six spaces spaces are reserved for letters and three spaces are reservedfor numbers.If the combination can be any three letters and any three numbers where different combinations are made by changing whether each space contains a number or a letter, then the answer becomes a product and sum of different choose functions and is much more complicated...
