Answer:
(n!)/((n-r)!)

Explanation:

  • Permutation is a way of arranging the elements of a set into a order or a sequence . Here order matters.

The number of permutations of n things taken r at a time is given by the following formula:


^nP_r=(n!)/((n-r)!)

Therefore, the formula for the number of permutations of n things taken r at a time is
(n!)/((n-r)!)
