120
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter n (total items) and r (items chosen).
- Select the Type: Permutation (order matters), Combination (order irrelevant), Permutation with Repetition, or Combination with Repetition.
- Review the Result and the Formula Type applied.
- For very large values, use log10(Result) to work with the magnitude without overflow.
- Compare all four types side by side to understand the effect of repetition and ordering assumptions.
How the result changes with Total Items (n)
| Total Items (n) | Result |
|---|---|
| 17 | 680 |
| 59 | 32,509 |
| 111 | 221,815 |
| 153 | 585,276 |
What each input means
- Total Items (n)
- Total number of items to choose from
- Chosen Items (r)
- Number of items to select
- Type (1=P, 2=C, 3=P+Rep, 4=C+Rep)
- 1=Permutation, 2=Combination, 3=Perm w/ repetition, 4=Comb w/ repetition
How this is calculated
Worked example, using the default values
- Identify Input ParametersTotal Items (n) = 10, Chosen Items (r) = 3, Type (1=P, 2=C, 3=P+Rep, 4=C+Rep) = 2 = 3 input(s) provided
- Calculate ResultResult120 = 120
- Calculate Formula TypeCombination C(n,r) = Combination C(n,r)
