No, sometimes they will be equal (when all items being permutated are all different, eg all permutations of {1, 2, 3} are distinguishable).

Does the number of permutations always exceed the number of combinations?

No. The number of permutations or combinations of 0 objects out of n is always 1. The number of permutations or combinations of 1 object out of n is always n. Otherwise, yes.


How many permutations of the letters a through J are there?

The letters from a to J consist of 10 distinct letters. The number of permutations of these letters is calculated using the factorial of the number of letters, which is 10!. Therefore, the total number of permutations is 10! = 3,628,800.


How many permutations are possible of the word rainbow?

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.


How can you find the number of permutations of a set of objects?

If there are n different objects, the number of permutations is factorial n which is also written as n! and is equal to 1*2*3*...*(n-1)*n.


How many distinguishable and indistinguishable permutations are there in the word algrebra?

The word "algrebra" has 8 letters, with the letter 'a' appearing twice and 'r' appearing twice. To find the number of distinguishable permutations, we use the formula for permutations of multiset: ( \frac{n!}{n_1! \times n_2!} ), where ( n ) is the total number of letters and ( n_1, n_2 ) are the frequencies of the repeating letters. Thus, the number of distinguishable permutations is ( \frac{8!}{2! \times 2!} = 10080 ). Since all letters are counted in this formula, there are no indistinguishable permutations in this context.

How do you find permutation?

If there are n objects and you have to choose r objects then the number of permutations is (n!)/((n-r)!). For circular permutations if you have n objects then the number of circular permutations is (n-1)!

What is the number of distinguishable permutations of the letters in the word oregon?

360. There are 6 letters, so there are 6! (=720) different permutations of 6 letters. However, since the two 'o's are indistinguishable, it is necessary to divide the total number of permutations by the number of permutations of the letter 'o's - 2! = 2 Thus 6! ÷ 2! = 360


What is the number of distinguishable permutations of the letters in the word GLASSES?

The solution is count the number of letters in the word and divide by the number of permutations of the repeated letters; 7!/3! = 840.

How many permutations are in the word math?

Since the word MATH does not have any duplicated letters, the number of permutations of those letters is simply the number of permutations of 4 things taken 4 at a time, or 4 factorial, or 24.


What is the correct number of permutations of 6 items from a list of 12 items?

Any 6 from 12 = 924 permutations


How many permutations of letters in word swimming?

The number of permutations of the letters SWIMMING is 8 factorial or 40,320. The number of distinct permutations, however, due to the duplication of the letters I and M is a factor of 4 less than that, or 10,080.
