Combination Calculator

Combination Calculator lets you unordered selections equal n! / (r! × (n−r)!). Enter your own values or load the worked example.

Method and calculation

Unordered selections equal n! / (r! × (n−r)!).

Inputs and settings

Combination Calculator accepts Total items (minimum 0, maximum 1000); Items selected (minimum 0, maximum 1000).

Worked example

Combination Calculator example — Total items: 10; Items selected: 3. Computed output: { "combinations": "120" }

Output and limitations

A committee has no internal ordering: selecting Ana then Ben represents the same membership as Ben then Ana. Dividing by the selected members’ factorial removes these duplicate arrangements. The calculator assumes sampling without replacement and reports an exact whole-number count.
