What is 14 choose 10?

Answer

14 choose 10 is
1,001

Order doesn't matter, no repeats: 1,001 ways to choose 10 of 14 items.

Choosing 10 of 14 is the same as leaving 4 out: C(14, 10) = C(14, 4).

C(14, 10) = 14! / (10! · 4!)

= C(14, 4)

= (14 × 13 × 12 × 11) / (4 × 3 × 2 × 1)
= 24,024 / 24

= 1,001

If order matters (permutations): P(14, 10) = 14 × 13 × 12 × … × 5 = 3,632,428,800 — each combination in 10! = 3,628,800 orders.

What is 14 choose 10?

14 choose 10 is 1,001

Why is 14 choose 10 the same as 14 choose 4?

Every way to choose 10 of 14 items leaves exactly 4 behind, so choosing 10 and choosing which 4 to leave out are the same count: 14 choose 10 = 14 choose 4 = 1,001. In the formula n! / (k! (n − k)!) the two factorials below just swap places.

How many ways are there if order matters?

P(14, 10) = 3,632,428,800. Each of the 1,001 combinations can be put in order in 10! = 3,628,800 ways, so permutations = combinations × k!: P(n, k) = n! / (n − k)!.
