6 Permutations of 2

Enter your n and r values below:

<-- Enter (n)
<-- Enter (r)

  
Evaluate the following permutation
6P2

Permutation Definition:

An order or arrangement

Permutation Formula:

nPr  =  n!
  (n - r)!

where n is the number of items
r is the number of arrangements.

Plug in n = 6 and r = 2

6P2  2  6!
  (6 - 2)!

Factorial Formula:

n! = n * (n - 1) * (n - 2) * .... * 2 * 1

Calculate n!:

n! = 6!
6! = 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
6! = 720

Calculate (n - r)!:

(n - r)! = (6 - 2)!
(6 - 2)! = 4!
4! = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
4! = 24

Calculate 6P2:

6P2  =  720
  24

How does the Permutations and Combinations Calculator work?

Free Permutations and Combinations Calculator - Calculates the following:
Number of permutation(s) of n items arranged in r ways = nPr
Number of combination(s) of n items arranged in r unique ways = nCr including subsets of sets
This calculator has 2 inputs.

What 2 formulas are used for the Permutations and Combinations Calculator?

nPr=n!/r!
nCr=n!/r!(n-r)!
