Variations with repetition

The calculator computes the number of variations with repetition. A variation of the k-th class with repetition of n elements is any ordered k-element group composed of only these n elements such that each element can be repeated any number of times.

(n)
(k)

Calculation:

Vk(n)=nk  n=10 k=4  V4(10)=104=10000

Number of variations with repetition: 10000

Variations with repetition

A variation with repetition of the k-th class of n elements is an ordered k-element group formed from a set of n elements, where elements can be repeated and order matters. A typical example is forming numbers from the digits 2, 3, 4, 5 and counting how many such numbers exist. We calculate the count using the combinatorial rule of product:

Vk(n)=nnnn...n=nk
