N Choose K Calculator n=240000, k=100 result

Find out how many different ways you can choose k items from a set of n items without repetition and without order. This number is also called combination number or n choose k or binomial coefficient or simply combinations. See also general combinatorial calculator.

A bit of theory - the foundation of combinatorics

Combinations

A combination of the 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 the order does not matter. In mathematics, such unordered groups are called sets and subsets. The count is called a combination number and is calculated as follows:

$C_k(n)=\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n}{k}\right)=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$

A typical example: we have 15 students and need to choose 3. How many ways can this be done?
