No. That is the number of permutations. For combinations the order of the number does not matter so that 1,2,3,4,5 is the same as 1,3,2,4,5 or 1,4,2,3,5 etc.
There are 5*4*3*2*1 = 120 such orderings for every set of 5 numbers. So the correct answer is
55*54*53*52*51 / 120 = 3478761

Oh, what a lovely question! To find the number of 5-number combinations from 59 numbers, we can use a formula called combinations. It's like mixing colors on your palette! The formula is nCr = n! / r!(n-r)!, where n is the total numbers (59) and r is the number of selections (5). So, for 59 numbers choosing 5 at a time, there are 5,006,386 unique combinations waiting to be discovered! Just imagine all the beautiful possibilities that can come from those combinations.

(43*42*41*40*39)/(5*4*3*2*1) = 962598
There are 10 combinations of 1 number,10*9/(2*1) = 45 combinations of 2 numbers,10*9*8/(3*2*1) = 120 combinations of 3 numbers,10*9*8*7/(4*3*2*1) = 210 combinations of 4 numbers,10*9*8*7*6/(5*4*3*2*1) = 252 combinations of 5 numbers,210 combinations of 6 numbers,120 combinations of 7 numbers,45 combinations of 8 numbers,10 combinations of 9 numbers, and1 combination of 10 numbers.All in all, 210 - 1 = 1023 combinations.
