How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter n (total items) and r (items chosen).
  2. Select the Type: Permutation (order matters), Combination (order irrelevant), Permutation with Repetition, or Combination with Repetition.
  3. Review the Result and the Formula Type applied.
  4. For very large values, use log10(Result) to work with the magnitude without overflow.
  5. Compare all four types side by side to understand the effect of repetition and ordering assumptions.

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

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    Total Items (n) = 10, Chosen Items (r) = 3, Type (1=P, 2=C, 3=P+Rep, 4=C+Rep) = 2 = 3 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Result
    Result
    120 = 120
  3. Calculate Formula Type
    Combination C(n,r) = Combination C(n,r)
