Combinations & Permutations Calculator

Compute combinations C(n,k) and permutations P(n,k) together.

Input Data

N
K

Results

Number of combinations.
120
Number of permutations.
720
Explanatory note about the result.
C(10,3)=120;P(10,3)=720

At a glance:C(n,k) = n!/(k!(n−k)!); P(n,k) = n!/(n−k)!. Complements combination and permutation.

Formula

C(n,k) = n!/(k!(n−k)!).

P(n,k) = n!/(n−k)!.

How to Use

  1. Enter n and k.
  2. The tool returns both counts.

Case Studies

n=5, k=2

C=10; P=20.

FAQ

Why is P larger than C?

Permutations count each ordering separately; combinations do not.
