How many distinct ways can you arrange the letters of the word literature?

Answer 1

Oh, what a lovely word to arrange! Let's see here, with the word "literature," we have 10 letters in total. Since some letters are repeated, we need to account for that in our count. So, there are 10!/(2!2!) = 453600 distinct ways to arrange the letters of "literature" in total. Isn't that just delightful?

Answer 2

Oh, dude, arranging the letters in "literature" is like trying to find matching socks in the laundry - a real challenge! There are 10 letters in "literature," so if we were to arrange them all, it would be 10 factorial, which is a whopping 3,628,800 ways. That's a lot of potential word jumbles to keep you entertained!

Answer 3

To calculate the number of distinct ways to arrange the letters of the word "literature," we first find the total number of letters, which is 10. Since there are repeated letters (three Es and two Ts), we need to divide by the factorial of the number of times each letter is repeated. So, the number of distinct ways to arrange the letters is 10! / (3! * 2!) = 30,240 ways.

Answer 4

Well, honey, if you want to get technical, the word "literature" has 10 letters, with 3 "t"s, 2 "e"s, and 2 "r"s. So, the number of distinct ways to arrange the letters is 10! / (3! * 2! * 2!) which is 30,240. But who's really counting when you've got all those juicy words to play with?

Answer 5

Depends on the t's and e's are different or not.

There are 10 letters and 10 'spaces' for them to be in.

The first space has 10 different candidates.

The second has 9. The 3rd has 8 and so on.

So there are 10! = 3,628,800 different ways to arrange the letters.

That is if the t's and e's are different.

.

If literaturE is the same as litErature, then we have all possibilities twice concerning the e's.

3,628,800 / 2 = 1,814,400

.

The same goes for the t's.

1,814,400 / 2 = 907,200

.

Ergo: 907,200 or 3,628,800 ways.
