7 Combinations of 6 ·

06 Jun 2024, 00:00

Evaluate the combination:

7C6

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 = 7 and r = 6

7C6 2	7!
	6!(7 - 6)!

Factorial Formula:

n! = n * (n - 1) * (n - 2) * .... * 2 * 1

Calculate the numerator n!:

n! = 7!

7! = 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

7! = 5,040

Calculate (n - r)!:

(n - r)! = (7 - 6)!

(7 - 6)! = 1!

1! = 1

Calculate r!:

r! = 6!

6! = 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

6! = 720

Calculate 7C6

7C6 =	5,040
	720 x 1

7C6 =	5,040
	720

7C6 = 7

Excel or Google Sheets formula:

=COMBIN(7,6)

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)!
