How many repetition combinations are there?
Two combinations with repetition are considered identical if they have the same elements repeated the same number of times, regardless of their order. Note that the following are equivalent: 1. The number of combinations of n objects taken r at a time with repetition.

What is the formula for permutations with repetition?
The permutation can be done in two ways, Permutation with repetition: This method is used when we are asked to make different choices each time and with different objects….Formulas for permutations.

Does the order in the combinations matter?
It doesn’t matter what order we add our ingredients in, but if we have a combination on our lock that is 4-5-6, then the order is extremely important. If the order doesn’t matter then we have a combination, if the order matters then we have a permutation. You could say that a permutation is an ordered combination.
What order could 16 billiard balls be in?
Our “order of 3 of 16 pool balls example” would be: 16! sixteen! 16•15•14•13•12•11•…
Can permutations have repetition?
There is a subset of permutations that takes into account that there are double objects or repetitions in a permutation problem. In general, repetitions are solved by dividing the permutation by the factorial of the number of objects that are identical.
How do you deal with repetition?
What is a factorial of 0?
A zero factorial is a mathematical expression for the number of ways to arrange a data set with no values, equal to one. The definition of the factorial states that 0! = 1.
In how many ways can you order 3/16 of pool balls?
In other words, there are 3360 different ways that 3 16-ball pool balls can be arranged. Without repetition, our options are reduced each time. The factorial function (symbol: !)
In what order can 16 billiard balls be placed if we only want to choose 3 of them?
But when we don’t want to choose all of them, just 3 of them, and that is then: 16×15×14=3360 or 16!
How many combinations of 7 items are there?
The number of possible combinations with 7 numbers is 127.
