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 4 number combinations are there with 16 numbers?

To calculate the number of 4-number combinations possible with 16 numbers, you would use the formula for combinations, which is nCr = n! / r!(n-r)!. In this case, n = 16 (the total number of numbers) and r = 4 (the number of numbers in each combination). Plugging these values into the formula, you would calculate 16C4 = 16! / 4!(16-4)! = 1820. Therefore, there are 1820 possible 4-number combinations with 16 numbers.


How many combinations are there if there are 8 numbers and you have a 16 number combination?

Assuming that "number" means digits and that it is permutations (rather than combinations) that are required, the answer is 816 which is 281.475 trillion (approx).


How many 5 digit combinations for numbers 1- 25?

There are 9 1-digit numbers and 16-2 digit numbers. So a 5 digit combination is obtained as:Five 1-digit numbers and no 2-digit numbers: 126 combinationsThree 1-digit numbers and one 2-digit number: 1344 combinationsOne 1-digit numbers and two 2-digit numbers: 1080 combinationsThat makes a total of 2550 combinations. This scheme does not differentiate between {13, 24, 5} and {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}. Adjusting for that would complicate the calculation considerably and reduce the number of combinations.

How many ways can a jury of 7 men and 4 women be selected from 11 men and 16 women?

600600 First, find how many different combinations of men can there be, which is 330; and how many different combinations of women can there be, which is 1820. Then, multiply them together and you get 600600
