6 people multiplied by 6 different chairs meaning there are a total of 36 different combinations because each chair has 6 different combinations.

If you have 6 chairs in a row, and 6 persons are going to be seated in those chairs,

the number of different arrangements (permutations) the 6 people can be seated

is 6! (six factorial):

6! = 6x5x4x3x2x1 = 720

i.e.,

The first person to sit has 6 options. For each option of the first person the second

has 5 options. For each option of the second person the third has 4 options. And so

on.
