What is 18 choose 0?

Answer

18 choose 0 is

Order doesn't matter, no repeats: 1 way to choose 0 of 18 items.

There is exactly one way: take none.

C(18, 0) = 18! / (0! · 18!)

= 1

0! = 1 (an empty product), so 18! cancels out completely.

FAQ

What is 18 choose 0?

18 choose 0 is 1

Why is 18 choose 0 the same as 18 choose 18?

Every way to choose 0 of 18 items leaves exactly 18 behind, so choosing 0 and choosing which 18 to leave out are the same count: 18 choose 0 = 18 choose 18 = 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(18, 0) = 18 choose 0 = 1. Order starts to matter from 2 items on: n × (n − 1) arrangements.
