What is 19 choose 7?

Answer

19 choose 7 is
50,388

Order doesn't matter, no repeats: 50,388 ways to choose 7 of 19 items.

C(19, 7) = 19! / (7! · 12!)

= (19 × 18 × 17 × … × 13) / (7 × 6 × 5 × … × 1)

7 factors on top and bottom

= 253,955,520 / 5,040

= 50,388

If order matters (permutations): P(19, 7) = 19 × 18 × 17 × … × 13 = 253,955,520 — each combination in 7! = 5,040 orders.

Row sum: 219 = 524,288 — all subsets of 19 items.
