voor lotto 6/42: (42x41x40x39x38x37)/6! = 5.245.786 diffrent combinations posible
I'm not familiar with "Lotto 556", but if it's meaning is the same as "Lotto 649" which I am familiar with, then it means that five unique numbers between 1 and 56 are picked. If that is correct, then the number of winning combinations are: 56! / 51! Which equals: 56 * 55 * 54 * 53 * 52 or: 458377920
55 x 54 x 53 x 52 x 51 x 50 = 20,872,566,000 possible combinations This includes counting combinations such as 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 1,2,3,4,6,5 and 6,5,4,3,2,1 and 4,2,3,1,5,6 as different. In a lottery, these are all considered to be the same. To get the number of combinations without regard to order, divide that number by 6!=6x5x4x3x2 which is 28,989,675
It depends on how many values each number is capable of having, and if repetition is allowed, and then if order is important. For example, are you rolling dice, picking Lotto balls, BINGO, etc. I am posting a link to a site called MathsIsFun, which has some good information about Combinations and Permutations.
