N Choose K Calculator n=100, k=50 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.

(n)
(k)

Calculation:

Ck(n)=(kn)=k!(nk)!n!  n=100 k=50  C50(100)=(50100)=50!(10050)!100!1.008×1029=100891344545564193334812497256

The number of combinations: 1.0089134454556×1029

100891344545564193334812497256


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:

Ck(n)=(kn)=k!(nk)!n!

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