    What is 12 choose 5?

    Answer

    12 choose 5 is
    792

    Order doesn't matter, no repeats: 792 ways to choose 5 of 12 items.

    C(12, 5) = 12! / (5! · 7!)

    = (12 × 11 × 10 × 9 × 8) / (5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1)
    = 95,040 / 120

    = 792

    If order matters (permutations): P(12, 5) = 12 × 11 × 10 × 9 × 8 = 95,040 — each combination in 5! = 120 orders.

    FAQ

    What is 12 choose 5?

    12 choose 5 is 792

    Why is 12 choose 5 the same as 12 choose 7?

    Every way to choose 5 of 12 items leaves exactly 7 behind, so choosing 5 and choosing which 7 to leave out are the same count: 12 choose 5 = 12 choose 7 = 792. In the formula n! / (k! (n − k)!) the two factorials below just swap places.

    How many ways are there if order matters?

    P(12, 5) = 95,040. Each of the 792 combinations can be put in order in 5! = 120 ways, so permutations = combinations × k!: P(n, k) = n! / (n − k)!.
