    FAQ

    What is 8 choose 1?

    8 choose 1 is 8

    Why is 8 choose 1 the same as 8 choose 7?

    Every way to choose 1 of 8 items leaves exactly 7 behind, so choosing 1 and choosing which 7 to leave out are the same count: 8 choose 1 = 8 choose 7 = 8. In the formula n! / (k! (n − k)!) the two factorials below just swap places.

    How many ways are there if order matters?

    The same 8: with 1 chosen item there is only one order, so P(8, 1) = 8 choose 1 = 8. Order starts to matter from 2 items on: n × (n − 1) arrangements.
