How it works

Permutations (nPr) count ordered arrangements; combinations (nCr) count unordered selections. nPr = n!/(n−r)!, nCr = n!/(r!(n−r)!).

Order matters? Use permutations. Order doesn't? Use combinations.

FAQs

Permutation vs combination?

Permutations care about order; combinations don't.

What's nCr?

Number of unordered selections of r from n.
