Evaluate the combination:

₁₄C₁₀

Combination Definition:

A unique order or arrangement

Combination Formula:

nCr  =	n!
	r!(n - r)!

where n is the number of items
r is the unique arrangements.

Plug in n = 14 and r = 10

14C10  2	14!
	10!(14 - 10)!

Factorial Formula:

n! = n * (n - 1) * (n - 2) * .... * 2 * 1

Calculate the numerator n!:

n! = 14!

14! = 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

14! = 87,178,291,200

Calculate (n - r)!:

(n - r)! = (14 - 10)!

(14 - 10)! = 4!

4! = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4! = 24

Calculate r!:

r! = 10!

10! = 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

10! = 3,628,800

Calculate ₁₄C₁₀

14C10  =	87,178,291,200
	3,628,800 x 24

14C10  =	87,178,291,200
	87,091,200

₁₄C₁₀ = 1,001

How does the Permutations and Combinations Calculator work?

Free Permutations and Combinations Calculator - Calculates the following:
Number of permutation(s) of n items arranged in r ways = _nP_r
Number of combination(s) of n items arranged in r unique ways = _nC_r including subsets of sets
This calculator has 2 inputs.

What 2 formulas are used for the Permutations and Combinations Calculator?

nPr=n!/r!
nCr=n!/r!(n-r)!
