Permutations are the different arrangements of any number of objects. When we arrange some objects in different orders, we obtain different permutations.Therefore, you can't say "What is the permutation of 5?". To calculate permutations, one has to get the following details:The total number of objects (n) (necessary)The number of objects taken at a time (r) (necessary)Any special conditions mentioned in the question (optional).
Not quite. Number of combinations is 20, number of permutations is 10. Any 2 from 5 is 10 but in any order doubles this.
The number of permutations of 7 things taken 7 at a time is 7 factorial, or 5040.
How many different ways can we arrange 9 objects taken 3 at a time?
Do a web search for "permutations and combinations" to find the how. I make it 35,960.

8 different objects can be lined up in (8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2) = 40,320 different ways.
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.
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.
Not quite. Number of combinations is 20, number of permutations is 10. Any 2 from 5 is 10 but in any order doubles this.
The number of permutations of the letters in the word SCHOOLS is the number of permutations of 7 things taken 7 at a time, which is 5040. However, since two of the letters, S and O, are duplicated, the number of distinct permutations is one fourth of that, or 1260.
The word MATHEMATICS has 11 letters. The number of permutations of 11 things taken 11 at a time is 11 factorial (11!), or 39,916,800.
nPr is n!/(n-r)!. The ! is factorial; for example 5! = 5*4*3*2*1.
Permutations = 4 x 3 x 2 = 24Combinations = (4 x 3 x 2) / (3 x 2 x 1) = 24/6 = 6
The combination formula is usually written as nCr representing the number of combinations of r objects at a time taken from n. nCr = n!/[r!*(n-r)!] The permutation formula is usually written as nPr representing the number of permutations of r objects at a time taken from n. nPr = n!/r! Where n! [n factorial] is 1*2*3*....*(n-1)*n
The number of permutations of 7 things taken 7 at a time is 7 factorial, or 5040.
The number of permutations of five things taken five at a time is five factorial, or 120.
