What is 16 choose 9?
Answer
16 choose 9 is
11,440
Order doesn't matter, no repeats: 11,440 ways to choose 9 of 16 items.
Choosing 9 of 16 is the same as leaving 7 out: C(16, 9) = C(16, 7).
C(16, 9) = 16! / (9! · 7!)
= C(16, 7)
= (16 × 15 × 14 × … × 10) / (7 × 6 × 5 × … × 1)
7 factors on top and bottom
= 57,657,600 / 5,040
= 11,440
If order matters (permutations): P(16, 9) = 16 × 15 × 14 × … × 8 = 4,151,347,200 — each combination in 9! = 362,880 orders.
