COMBINATION
It refers to the selection made from a group of items
without the importance of order. If there are n objects which
will be selected r at a time, it will be denoted by:
 n!
C (n , r )= , n ≥ r ≥0
r ! ( n−r ) !

Where,
C refers to the number of combinations.
n refers to the total number of objects in a set.
r refers to the number of objects selected from the set

SOLVING COMBINATION GIVEN n AND r

Conditions:
a. Combination of n objects taken all at a time is C(n,n) = 1
b. Combination of n objects taken one at a time is C(n,1) = n

Examples:
1. C (4,4)

Solutions: Solve the combination through the given steps

n=4 Determine the total number of objects and the

r=4 number of choosing objects from the set.

n!
C (n,r) = Apply the formula.
r ! ( n−r ) !

4! Substitute the value of n and r, then perform the

C (4,4) = operation inside the parenthesis.
4 ! ( 4−4 ) !

4!
C (4,4) = Simplify the expression by expanding the n!
4!0!

4 × 3× 2× 1 Divide out the common numbers in numerator and

C (4,4) = denominator, then multiply the following.
4 × 3× 2× 1× 1

24
C (4,4) = Divide the numerator by the denominator.
24

C (4,4) = 1

2. C (4,1)

Solutions:

n=4
r=1
 n!
C (n,r) =
r ! ( n−r ) !

4!
C (4,1) =
1! ( 4−1 ) !

4!
C (4,1) =
1! 3 !

4 × 3× 2× 1
C (4,1) =
1 ×3 ×2 ×1

4
C (4,1) =
1

C (4,1) = 4

3. C (5,3)

Solution:

n=5
r=3

n!
C (n,r) =
r ! ( n−r ) !

5!
C (5,3) =
3! (5−3 ) !

5!
C (5,3) =
3! 2!

5× 4 × 3 ×2 ×1
C (5,3) =
3 ×2 ×1 ×2 ×1

C (5,3) =
2

C(5,3) = 10

4. C (4,3)

Solution:

n=4
 r=3

4!
C (4,3) =
3! ( 4−3 ) !

4!
C (4,3) =
3! 1 !

4 × 3× 2× 1
C (4,3) =
3 ×2 ×1 ×1

4
C (4,3) =
1

C (4,3) = 4
