What is the number of distinguishable permutations of the letters in the word oregon?
360. There are 6 letters, so there are 6! (=720) different permutations of 6 letters. However, since the two 'o's are indistinguishable, it is necessary to divide the total number of permutations by the number of permutations of the letter 'o's - 2! = 2 Thus 6! ÷ 2! = 360
How many arrangements of the letters in the word SCHOOLS are there?
The number of permutations of the letters in the word SCHOOLS is the number of permutations of 7 things taken 7 at a time, which is 5040. However, since two of the letters, S and O, are duplicated, the number of distinct permutations is one fourth of that, or 1260.
How many permutations are in the word math?
Since the word MATH does not have any duplicated letters, the number of permutations of those letters is simply the number of permutations of 4 things taken 4 at a time, or 4 factorial, or 24.
How many permutations are in the word united?
UNITED = 6 letters The letters in the word UNITED did not repeat so the number of permutations = 6! = 6x5x4x3x2 =720
How many distinguishable permutations are there of the letters in the word effective?
The number of permutations of the letters EFFECTIVE is 9 factorial or 362,880. To determine the distinct permutations, you have to compensate for the three E's (divide by 4) and the two F's (divide by 2), giving you 45,360.
