    What is 4 choose 0?

    Answer

    4 choose 0 is
    1

    Order doesn't matter, no repeats: 1 way to choose 0 of 4 items.

    There is exactly one way: take none.

    C(4, 0) = 4! / (0! · 4!)

    = 1

    0! = 1 (an empty product), so 4! cancels out completely.

    k4 choose k
    01
    14
    26
    34
    41

    Row sum: 24 = 16 — all subsets of 4 items.

    FAQ

    What is 4 choose 0?

    4 choose 0 is 1

    Why is 4 choose 0 the same as 4 choose 4?

    Every way to choose 0 of 4 items leaves exactly 4 behind, so choosing 0 and choosing which 4 to leave out are the same count: 4 choose 0 = 4 choose 4 = 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(4, 0) = 4 choose 0 = 1. Order starts to matter from 2 items on: n × (n − 1) arrangements.
