Permutation & Combination Calculator

Calculate permutations (nPr) and combinations (nCr) with step-by-step breakdowns. Free online probability calculator.

About Permutation & Combination Calculator

Our Permutation & Combination Calculator computes both nPr (ordered arrangements) and nCr (unordered selections) with full factorial breakdowns. Perfect for probability, statistics, and combinatorics.

Key Differences

Permutation Order matters

Combination Order doesn't matter

Relation nPr = nCr × r!

Understanding Permutations & Combinations

Permutations count arrangements where order matters (e.g., lock codes). Combinations count selections where order doesn't matter (e.g., lottery picks).

Formulas

Permutation P(n,r) = n! / (n − r)! — ordered arrangements

Combination C(n,r) = n! / (r! × (n − r)!) — unordered selections

Factorial n! = n × (n−1) × (n−2) × ... × 2 × 1

Real-Life Examples

Lottery

6/49 Lottery: Choosing 6 numbers from 49 — C(49,6) = 13,983,816 combinations.

Password

4-digit PIN: 10 digits, 4 positions with repetition — 10^4 = 10,000 permutations.

Committee

Pick 3 from 10: Choosing a committee of 3 from 10 people — C(10,3) = 120.

Racing

Top 3 from 8: Medal positions — P(8,3) = 8 × 7 × 6 = 336 arrangements.
