When do I use nPr = n!/(n−r)! in Permutations & Combinations, and what does it mean?

number of ordered arrangements of r from n.

nPr = n!/(n−r)! — number of ordered arrangements of r from n. Use it when: order matters, no repetition. Always check the condition holds before plugging in numbers.

Key point

nPr = n!/(n−r)!
