Permutation Calculator
Find how many ways r items can be chosen and arranged in order from n items.
This result is the number of different ordered arrangements possible for the values entered.
Formula
Permutation P(n, r) = n! ÷ (n − r)!, because order matters when arranging the chosen items.
How it works
Enter n and r with r no larger than n. The calculator divides the factorials. For example, P(10, 3) = 720.
