About This Tool
The Permutation & Combination Calculator computes nPr (permutations) and nCr (combinations) for any values of n and r.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between permutation and combination?
In permutations (nPr), order matters — arranging 3 letters from 5 gives different results for each order. In combinations (nCr), order does not matter — choosing 3 from 5 is the same group regardless of order.
What is the formula for nPr?
nPr = n! / (n-r)!
What is the formula for nCr?
nCr = n! / (r! × (n-r)!)
