Calculate combinations (nCr) and permutations (nPr) for any set size. Choose r items from n with or without order.
About Probability Calculator
This free probability calculator computes combinations (nCr) and permutations (nPr) for any set of items. Combinations count the number of ways to choose r items from n items where order does not matter. Permutations count the number of ways where order does matter. Use the tabs above to switch between modes.
Combinations (nCr)
Find how many ways to choose r items from n items when order doesn't matter, like selecting lottery numbers or committee members.
Permutations (nPr)
Find how many ways to arrange r items from n items when order matters, like ranking contestants or creating passwords.
