Permutation and Combination Calculator

Count ordered and unordered selections, with or without repetition, using exact arbitrary-size integers.

Enter the known values

The calculation runs locally. Exact-integer tools avoid floating point; decimal and transcendental tools report rounding limits.

Method and verification guide

How the Permutation and Combination Calculator works

Without repetition, nPr=n!/(n−r)! and nCr=n!/[r!(n−r)!]. With repetition, ordered count is n^r and unordered count is C(n+r−1,r). The calculator keeps the intermediate values visible so you can reproduce the answer independently.

01

Method

Without repetition, nPr=n!/(n−r)! and nCr=n!/[r!(n−r)!]. With repetition, ordered count is n^r and unordered count is C(n+r−1,r).

02

Interpret the result

Order distinguishes arrangements from groups; repetition determines whether an item can occupy more than one selected position.

03

Check the assumptions

Items are assumed distinguishable; this does not count permutations of multisets containing identical objects.

Local calculation

Everything runs in this browser. Inputs are not sent to an external calculator.

Rounding

Displayed values may be rounded for readability while calculations use full floating-point precision unless the tool explicitly uses exact integers.

Scope

Items are assumed distinguishable; this does not count permutations of multisets containing identical objects.

Simple by design

Three steps to a clearer number.

01

Enter your details

Use realistic values in each field. You can change them anytime.

02

Calculate instantly

The formula runs locally, so there is no account or waiting time.

03

Use the result

Treat the answer as a practical estimate for your next decision.
