Variations without repetitionTake a set A of n different elements. Choose m elements in a specific order.
The number of variations is given by the formula:
Vn,m=n(n-1)(n-2).....(n-m+1), or what is equivalent: ![]()
If we have a set {0, 1, 2, 3}, then the variations of size 2 are all the permutations of subsets of size 2. The subsets are the following:
{0, 1} {0, 2} {0, 3} {1, 2} {1, 3} {2, 3}
{1, 0} {2, 0} {3, 0} {2, 1} {3, 1} {3, 2} There are 12 total variations on the set. Using the formula: ![]() Enter the number of elements of the set A and choose a number m (m |
