Did this calculator solve your problem today?

The math behind it

nCr = n! ÷ (r! × (n − r)!). It's computed iteratively here to avoid overflow on large factorials.

Lottery: choose 6 from 49 → 49C6 = 13,983,816 combinations.

Combination vs permutation?

Combinations ignore order; permutations count ordered arrangements (so there are always more permutations).
