Evaluate the combination:

13C10

Combination Definition:

A unique order or arrangement

Combination Formula:
nCr  =  n!
  r!(n - r)!

where n is the number of itemsr is the unique arrangements.

Plug in n = 13 and r = 10
13C10  2  13!
  10!(13 - 10)!
Factorial Formula:

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

Calculate the numerator n!:

n! = 13!

13! = 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

13! = 6,227,020,800

Calculate (n - r)!:

(n - r)! = (13 - 10)!

(13 - 10)! = 3!

3! = 3 x 2 x 1

3! = 6

Calculate r!:

r! = 10!

10! = 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

10! = 3,628,800

Calculate 13C10
13C10  =  6,227,020,800
  3,628,800 x 6
13C10  =  6,227,020,800
  21,772,800

13C10 = 286


Excel or Google Sheets formula:

=COMBIN(13,10)

What is the Answer?

13C10 = 286

How does the Permutations and Combinations Calculator work?

Free Permutations and Combinations Calculator - Calculates the following:Number of permutation(s) of n items arranged in r ways = nPrNumber of combination(s) of n items arranged in r unique ways = nCr including subsets of setsThis calculator has 2 inputs.

What 2 formulas are used for the Permutations and Combinations Calculator?

nPr=n!/r!nCr=n!/r!(n-r)!
