There are 6 possibilities for the first dice, 6 for the second and 6 for the third. This makes 6x6x6 = 216 combinations. However, some of these combinations are duplicates if the order of the dice does not matter. For instance, we have counted both 5,2,3 and 2,3,5. To eradicate these duplicates, we must work out how many there are for each combination. If a combination ABC has been considered, then we have also counted ACB, BAC, BCA, CAB and CBA falsely. Thus every combination has been counted 6 times when we only needed to count it once. To get the correct value, we must divide 216 by 6, to get the true number of possible combinations as 36.
They are called combinations!
If order doesn't matter, 15 combinations and if order does matter, 360 combinations are possible.
126 combinations. Remember that the order does not matter.
If not, they would be combinations.
On a calculator: 43C5 = 962598 This is for combinations and not permutations, so in essence, the order of the 5 number combinations does not matter. Yours Truly, Mr Greatness

he only combination is {0, 6, 6}, in any order. The order of the elements does not matter for combinations.

Just 4: 123, 124, 134 and 234. The order of the numbers does not matter with combinations. If it does, then they are permutations, not combinations.

10 Combinations (if order doesn't matter). 3,628,800 Possiblilities (if order matters).
The whole point of combinations is that the order of the number (or items) does not matter. Once you specify what the second number is, you are no longer looking at combinations.

The question contradicts itself. The order of the letters is irrelevant in a combination [though it does matter in a permutation]. So what is it that you are asking for? Combinations or order-dependent arrangements?
You can get only four combinations: They are: 11, 118, 119 and 1189. In a combination, the order of the digits does not matter.
