What this tool is for
Permutation Calculator is built for math checking inside math calculators when you need to counts ordered selections. It focuses on permutation instead of making you adapt a broad calculator to a narrow task.
When to use it
Use it when items and chosen are already known and you want a fast estimate before comparing options, checking a worksheet, or copying the result into another workflow.
Inputs
- Items is the count that the result is divided by, multiplied by, or compared against.
- Chosen is one of the direct inputs used to calculate permutation.
Formula
nPr = n! / (n - r)!
Example
10P3 = 720.
What the result means
The result labeled "Permutation" is the direct output of nPr = n! / (n - r)!. In the worked example, 10P3 = 720.
Before you rely on the result
Check the inputs and formula before using the result in homework, engineering, finance, or scientific work.
