That's eight letters, so: 8! = 40320 different arrangements.
n! means "factorial", and the expression expands to n*(n - 1)*(n - 2) ... * 2 * 1

How many different arrangements of 7 letters can be formed from the letters in the word ALGEBRA?
The number of 7 letter permutations of the word ALGEBRA is the same as the number of permutation of 7 things taken 7 at a time, which is 5040. However, since the letter A is duplicated once, you have to divide by 2 in order to find out the number of distinct permutations, which is 2520.

How many different nine letter arrangements can be formed from the nine letters of the word apparatus?
Answer 9!/3!2!=30240 Note there are three a's and two p's and a total of 9 letters in apparatus. So there are 9 choices for the first letter, and 8 for the next, then 7 for the third etc. The we divide by 3! and 2! to avoid overcounting. The answer is 9!/3!2! The numerator can be written as 9! which is pronounced 9 factorial. Then we divide that by 3! times 2! In general if you have have n letters, there are n! words you can make, However, if some of the letters are repeated you must divide to avoid overcounting. If letter a is repeated r1 times, b r2 times, c r3 times.. etc, Then the number of words is n!/r1!r2!r3!
