19 choose 1 is 19

Why is 19 choose 1 the same as 19 choose 18?

Every way to choose 1 of 19 items leaves exactly 18 behind, so choosing 1 and choosing which 18 to leave out are the same count: 19 choose 1 = 19 choose 18 = 19. In the formula n! / (k! (n − k)!) the two factorials below just swap places.

How many ways are there if order matters?

The same 19: with 1 chosen item there is only one order, so P(19, 1) = 19 choose 1 = 19. Order starts to matter from 2 items on: n × (n − 1) arrangements.
