What is 14 choose 0?

Answer

14 choose 0 is
1

Order doesn't matter, no repeats: 1 way to choose 0 of 14 items.

There is exactly one way: take none.

C(14, 0) = 14! / (0! · 14!)

= 1

0! = 1 (an empty product), so 14! cancels out completely.

Row sum: 214 = 16,384 — all subsets of 14 items.

14 choose 0 is 1

Why is 14 choose 0 the same as 14 choose 14?

Every way to choose 0 of 14 items leaves exactly 14 behind, so choosing 0 and choosing which 14 to leave out are the same count: 14 choose 0 = 14 choose 14 = 1. In the formula n! / (k! (n − k)!) the two factorials below just swap places.

How many ways are there if order matters?

The same 1: with 0 chosen items there is only one order, so P(14, 0) = 14 choose 0 = 1. Order starts to matter from 2 items on: n × (n − 1) arrangements.
