Combinatorics Calculator

What is a Combinatorics Calculator?

Calculate Permutations ($nPr$), Combinations ($nCr$), and Factorials ($n!$). Determine total possible arrangements and selections of items where order matters (permutations) or order does not matter (combinations).

Why Use This Tool?

  • Probability & Statistics: Calculate probability odds and event combination outcomes.
  • Lottery & Game Analysis: Compute total possible card combinations or lottery ticket selection odds.
  • Computer Science & Algorithms: Calculate search space complexity for algorithms.

How to Use

  1. Enter Total Items $n$ (e.g. `10`) and Selected Items $r$ (e.g. `3`).
  2. Select Operation: Combination $nCr$ or Permutation $nPr$.
  3. View calculated result and step-by-step formula solution.

Real Working Example

Input:

Total Items (n): 10 | Selected Items (r): 3 | Mode: Combination (nCr)

Output Result:

10C3 = 10! / (3! * 7!) = 120 unique combinations

Important Technical Details & Formulas

  • Combination Formula: `nCr = n! / (r! * (n - r)!)`.
  • Permutation Formula: `nPr = n! / (n - r)!`.
  • BigInt Precision: Handles large factorials ($n!$) accurately without numeric overflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Permutation (nPr) and Combination (nCr)?

In Permutations (nPr), order matters (e.g. lock code 1-2-3); in Combinations (nCr), order does not matter (e.g. team selection).

What is 0 factorial (0!) equal to?

By mathematical definition, 0! = 1.

How many combinations of 6 numbers can be chosen from 49 (Lottery 6/49)?

49C6 = 13,983,816 total possible combinations.
