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

number of unordered selections of r from n.

nCr = n!/[r!(n−r)!] — number of unordered selections of r from n. Use it when: order does not matter. Always check the condition holds before plugging in numbers.

Key point

nCr = n!/[r!(n−r)!]
