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 of the letters in the word Louisiana are there?
The number of permutations of the letters in the word LOUISIANA is 9 factorial or 362,880. However, since the letters I and A are each repeated once, you need to divide that by 4 to determine the number of distinct permutations, giving you 90,720.
How many permutations are in the word mathematics?
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.
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.
How many distinct permutations are there of the word statistics?
We know there are 10! (ten factorial) permutations (that's about 3,628,800 permutations); however, we know that number includes repeated permutations, as there are 3 s', 3 t's and 2 i's. So we have to divide by the number of ways these can be written as individual permutations (if they were considered as unique elements), which are 3! (= 6), 3! and 2! (= 2) respectively. So our final calculation would be 3628800 / (6 * 6 * 2) = 50400 unique permutations.
