22 Permutations of 4 MathCelebrity logo Image to Crop

Evaluate the following permutation

22P4

Permutation Definition:

An order or arrangement

Permutation Formula:
nPr  =  n!
  (n - r)!

where n is the number of items
r is the number of arrangements.

Plug in n = 22 and r = 4
22P4  2  22!
  (22 - 4)!

Factorial Formula:

n! = n * (n - 1) * (n - 2) * .... * 2 * 1

Calculate n!:

n! = 22!

22! = 22 x 21 x 20 x 19 x 18 x 17 x 16 x 15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

22! = 1,124,000,727,777,607,680,000

Calculate (n - r)!:

(n - r)! = (22 - 4)!

(22 - 4)! = 18!

18! = 18 x 17 x 16 x 15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

18! = 6,402,373,705,728,000

Calculate 22P4:
22P4  =  1,124,000,727,777,607,680,000
  6,402,373,705,728,000
