Evaluate the following permutation
15P5
Permutation Definition:
An order or arrangement
Permutation Formula:
| nPr = | n! |
| (n - r)! |
where n is the number of items
r is the number of arrangements.
Plug in n = 15 and r = 5
| 15P5 2 | 15! |
| (15 - 5)! |
Factorial Formula:
n! = n * (n - 1) * (n - 2) * .... * 2 * 1
Calculate n!:
n! = 15!
15! = 15 x 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
15! = 1,307,674,368,000
Calculate (n - r)!:
(n - r)! = (15 - 5)!
(15 - 5)! = 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 15P5:
| 15P5 = | 1,307,674,368,000 |
| 3,628,800 |
15P5 = 360,360
Excel or Google Sheets formula:
=PERMUT(15,5)
What is the Answer?
15P5 = 360,360
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 = nPr
Number of combination(s) of n items arranged in r unique ways = nCr including subsets of sets
This calculator has 2 inputs.
What 2 formulas are used for the Permutations and Combinations Calculator?
nCr=n!/r!(n-r)!

What 4 concepts are covered in the Permutations and Combinations Calculator?
- combination
- a mathematical technique that determines the number of possible arrangements in a collection of items where the order of the selection does not matter
nPr = n!/r!(n - r)! - factorial
- The product of an integer and all the integers below it
- permutation
- a way in which a set or number of things can be ordered or arranged.
nPr = n!/(n - r)! - permutations and combinations
