How many combinations can we have from:
r elements from n distinct objects
where order does matter and
replacements are not allowed?
Combinations with Replacment Formula
CR(n,r) =
(n + r - 1)!
r! (n - 1)!
Plug in n = 12 and r = 6, we get:
CR(12,6) =
(12 + 6 - 1)!
6!(12 - 1)!
CR(12,6) =
17!
6!(11)!
Calculate 17!
17! = 17 x 16 x 15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
17! = 355687428096000
Calculate 6!
6! = 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
6! = 720
Calculate 11!
11! = 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
11! = 39916800
Plug in factorial values:
CR(12,6) =
17!
6!(11)!
CR(12,6) =
355687428096000
720(39916800)
CR(12,6) =
355687428096000
28740096000
CR(12,6) = 12376
