Combinations calculator
The calculator finds the number of combinations of the k-th class from n elements without repetition. A combination with repetition of k objects from n is a way of selecting k objects from a list of n. The order of selection does not matter and each object can be selected once (without repeated).Calculation:
Ck(n)=(kn)=k!(n−k)!n! n=10 k=4 C4(10)=(410)=4!(10−4)!10!=4⋅3⋅2⋅110⋅9⋅8⋅7=210
The number of combinations: 210
A bit of theory - the foundation of combinatorics
Combinations
A combination of a k-th class of n elements is an unordered k-element group formed from a set of n elements. The elements are not repeated, and it does not matter the order of the group's elements. In mathematics, disordered groups are called sets and subsets. Their number is a combination number and is calculated as follows:Ck(n)=(kn)=k!(n−k)!n!
A typical example of combinations is that we have 15 students and we have to choose three. How many will there be?
