Permutations without repetition
The calculator calculates the number of permutations of n elements. Number of permutations is the number of ways to choose a sample of n elements from a set of n distinct objects where order does matter and repetition are not allowed. There are n! (n factorial) ways of arranging n objects into an ordered sequence.Calculation:
Vk(n)=(n−k)!n! n=10 k=4 V4(10)=(10−4)!10!=6!10!=10⋅9⋅8⋅7=5040
The number of variations: 5040
A bit of theory - the foundation of combinatorics
Permutations
The permutation is a synonymous name for a variation of the nth class of n-elements. It is thus any n-element ordered group formed of n-elements. The elements are not repeated and depend on the order of the elements in the group.P(n)=n(n−1)(n−2)...1=n!
A typical example is: We have 4 books, and in how many ways can we arrange them side by side on a shelf?

- Playmakers 83340
In a basketball game, two pivots, two wings, and one point guard play. The coach has three pivots, four wing players, and two playmakers available on the bench. How many different five players can a coach send to the board during a game? - Peak
Uphill leads 2 paths and one lift. a) How many options back and forth are there? b) How many options to get there and back by the not same path are there? c) How many options back and forth are there that we go at least once a lift? - A basket 4
A basket contains 9 fruits, where 4 are oranges, and the rest are mangoes. Three fruits are taken out one at a time and put aside. Find the probability that 3 are oranges. - Hockey players
