1. Definition
Choosing m of n distinct elements and arranging them in order gives P(n,m)=n!/(n−m)!.
3. Properties & Laws
- Order matters;
- m=n gives all permutations n!;
- m=0 gives 1;
- P(n,m)=C(n,m)·m!.
4. Steps
- Enter n,m;
- Click "Calculate";
- Or click "Load Example".
5. Worked Examples
Example: P(5,3)=5!/2!=60.
6. Common Pitfalls
Ordered;
0≤m≤n;
Denominator (n−m)!.
