What to Focus On

  • If one task can be done in 'm' ways and another in 'n' ways, both can be done in m × n ways.
  • Applies to independent events in sequence.
  • Used in forming numbers, passwords, and travel routes.
  • n! = n × (n−1) × ... × 2 × 1
  • 0! = 1 (by definition)
  • Used in formulas for permutations and combinations.
  • Order matters in permutations.
  • <sup>n</sup>P<sub>r</sub> = n! / (n−r)!
  • <sup>n</sup>P<sub>n</sub> = n!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Permutation and Combination are interchangeable; they mean the same thing.

nPr and nCr are calculated the same way; just use n!/(n−r)! for both.

0! = 0, just like 0 multiplied by anything is 0.

Fundamental Principle of Counting

Permutation vs Combination

Factorial (n!)
