There is a mathematical function called "factorial", and it is denoted by "!" (the exclamation mark). The factorial is when you multiply a number by every number before it, all the way down to 1.

Eg: 5! = 5*4*3*2*1=120

So, when you choose n objects in random order, at first you have n choices. After that, you have n-1 choices left, and after that, then you have n-2 choices left, and so on.

So the answer to the question "How many ways are there to pick n objects from n objects if order does not matter is: n!

where n! = n*(n-1)*(n-2)*(n-3)*(n-4) . . . (3)*(2)*(1).

* * * * *

That is the number if the order DOES matter.

If the order does NOT matter, as the question requires, the answer is 1.
