N Choose K Calculator n=1000, k=60 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=1000 k=60  C60(1000)=(601000)=60!(100060)!1000!1.974×1097=197427486218598388064452908675908420972703393149 784491186780026746419525030751717480339089899764 00

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?
