Since there are no duplicate letters in the word RAINBOW, the number of permutations of those letters is simply the number of permutations of 7 things taken 7 at a time, i.e. 7 factorial, which is 5040.
The number of permutations of 20 things taken 20 at a time is 20 factorial or 2,432,902,008,176,640,000.
For the permutation the equation is (8!)/(5!) assuming there is no replacement. Which is 8*7*6 = 336 For combinations the equation is (8!)/((5!)(8-5)!) = (8!)/((5!)(3)!) = (8*7*6)/(6) = 56
nPr is n!/(n-r)!. The ! is factorial; for example 5! = 5*4*3*2*1.
