Evaluate the combination:
11C6
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 = 11 and r = 6
| 11C6 2 | 11! |
| 6!(11 - 6)! |
Factorial Formula:
n! = n * (n - 1) * (n - 2) * .... * 2 * 1
Calculate the numerator n!:
n! = 11!
11! = 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
11! = 39,916,800
Calculate (n - r)!:
(n - r)! = (11 - 6)!
(11 - 6)! = 5!
5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
5! = 120
Calculate r!:
r! = 6!
6! = 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
6! = 720
Calculate 11C6
| 11C6 = | 39,916,800 |
| 720 x 120 |
| 11C6 = | 39,916,800 |
| 86,400 |
11C6 = 462

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?
nPr=n!/r!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
