Are you asking for distinct 3-digit numbers? If so, there are 10 ways to pick the first digit, 9 ways to pick the second, and 8 to pick the third. Using the counting/multiplication principle, there are 10*9*8 = 720 3-permutations. Note that in this case the group 321 is considered different from the group 123.

If you're looking for an unordered grouping, then you'll need to divide out the ways in which the 3 digits selected can be arranged. Now we'll consider the group 321 the same as 123. A group of three things can be arranged in 6 ways, so we find 720/6 = 120 ways.
