Formula: permut(fcN,fcR)

n: The number of objects to choose from.

r: The number of objects to chosen from set n.

Example

Compute the permutation of 2 cards possible from a deck with 47 cards.

Value Keystrokes Display Description
47 n 47.00 Stores the n value.
2 r 2.00 Stores the r value
  npr 2,162.00 Calculates the number of permutations.

Due to the nature of this function, it is difficult to solve for the n or r values.
