How many different possible combinations of the four different nitrogen bases taken three at a time?
Four of them.
How many combinations of four numbers are there in 16 numbers?
If order matters and a number cannot be repeated, then there are 16x15x14x13 = 43680 different combinations. If order does not matter then you must divide by the number of ways you can rearrage the same 4 numbers i.e. divide by 4x3x2x1=24 so you can select 4 numbers from a group of 16 in 43680/24 = 1820 ways. In mathematical terms there are 43680 permutations of 16 numbers taken 4 at a time and 1820 combinations of 16 number taken 4 at a time.
How many 5 digit combinations are there for the numbers 1 through 59?
It's just a combination of 59 objects chosen five at a time which means (59*58*57*56*55)/(5*4*3*2*1)=5,006,386. Order does not matter in this calculation, which is why it is a combination not a permutation.
How many combinations can you make out of 26 letters?
There are 26! (which means 26*25*24 all the way to 1) permutations. this comes to 403,291,461,100,000,000,000,000,000 different combinations. If it takes you thirty seconds to write out one combination, then it would take 383,123,823,100,000,000,000 YEARS to write all the combinations. To put this into context, the universe (and possibly time itself) is only 13,700,000,000 years old.
What are the possible combinations of numbers 0 through 9 if any numbers cannot be repeated?
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. I have neither the time nor inclination to list them all.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.
