The combination formula is usually written as nCr representing the number of combinations of r objects at a time taken from n.
nCr = n!/[r!*(n-r)!]
The permutation formula is usually written as nPr representing the number of permutations of r objects at a time taken from n.
nPr = n!/r!
Where n! [n factorial] is 1*2*3*....*(n-1)*n
