Given that the effective limit on the number characters on a license plate is 7, and that each of those characters could be a letter (26 possibilities), a number (10 more possibilities, 36 total), a hyphen (37 total), or a space (38 total possibilities), the total number of possible license plates is 38^7 or 38*38*38*38*38*38*38 which is 114,415,582,592
1x26x26x26x10x10x10=17576000
24
For every letter there are 26 possibilities, for every digit, 10. Multiply all of this together (26 x 26 x 10 x 10 x 10) = 676,000.
Number of possible groups of 3 letters = 26 x 25 x 24 = 15,600. For each of these . . .Number of possible groups of 3 digits = 9 x 9 x 8 = 648 .Total number of possible distinct plates = 15,600 x 648 = 10,108,800
There are millions of possible combinations.
There are 26 possible letters and 10 possible numbers. The number of license plates possible is then 26*26*10*10*10*10 = 6760000.
If you assume 26 different letters, there are 26 to the power 5 possible variations of 5 letters.
If all letters and numbers are allowed, the possibilities are 26x26x10x10x10x10. So: 6760000 different plates.
384,475,000 license plates. There are 35 different letter/number combinations possible. Each combination has 10,985,000 variants. 35*10,985,000 = 384,475,000
There are 120 different license plates available!
There are 17,576 possible license plates. There are 26 possible letters in the first space times 26 in the second space times 26 in the third space.
There can be 26*9*10*10*10 = 234000 different plates. This assumes that the letter can be I (which may be confused with 1) or Z (2).
(26) x (26) x (10,000) = 6,760,000

Two plates were required for automobiles and for trucks. I have a 49 F 1 Pickup that has the original license plates on it.
1x26x26x26x10x10x10=17576000
Multiply the possibilities for each digit: 26 * 26 * 26 * 10 * 10 * 10 = 17,576,000
