What is 14 choose 11?

Answer

14 choose 11 is
364

Order doesn't matter, no repeats: 364 ways to choose 11 of 14 items.

Choosing 11 of 14 is the same as leaving 3 out: C(14, 11) = C(14, 3).

C(14, 11) = 14! / (11! · 3!)

= C(14, 3)

= (14 × 13 × 12) / (3 × 2 × 1)
= 2,184 / 6

= 364

If order matters (permutations): P(14, 11) = 14 × 13 × 12 × … × 4 = 14,529,715,200 — each combination in 11! = 39,916,800 orders.

14 choose 11 is 364

Why is 14 choose 11 the same as 14 choose 3?

Every way to choose 11 of 14 items leaves exactly 3 behind, so choosing 11 and choosing which 3 to leave out are the same count: 14 choose 11 = 14 choose 3 = 364. In the formula n! / (k! (n − k)!) the two factorials below just swap places.

How many ways are there if order matters?

P(14, 11) = 14,529,715,200. Each of the 364 combinations can be put in order in 11! = 39,916,800 ways, so permutations = combinations × k!: P(n, k) = n! / (n − k)!.
