To count the number of combinations : To calculate the number of k elements of part of a set of n elements.
Syntax :combination(n;k), where n and k are integers
Examples :combination(`5;3`), returns 10
The calculator used to calculate online the number of combination of a set of k elements from n elements. A combination of a set of k elements among n elements calculation as follows: `"n!"/"p!(n-p)!"`. The sign ! represents the factorial function. Ie the number of combination of a set of k among n elements elements equals the number of permutation divided by p!. This number of combination is the binomial coefficient .
The calculator is able to calculate the number of combination of a set of k elements from n elements with the results in exact form : for example, to calculate the number of combinations of a set of 3 elements from the 5 elements, enter combination(`5;3`), after calculation, the result is returned.
