It depends on the type of lock. Could be thousands.
On a calculator: 43C5 = 962598 This is for combinations and not permutations, so in essence, the order of the 5 number combinations does not matter. Yours Truly, Mr Greatness
120 WRONG! That is the number of PERMUTATIONS. In the case of combinations, the order of the numbers does not matter, so there is only 1 5-number combination from 5 numbers.
55 x 54 x 53 x 52 x 51 x 50 = 20,872,566,000 possible combinations This includes counting combinations such as 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 1,2,3,4,6,5 and 6,5,4,3,2,1 and 4,2,3,1,5,6 as different. In a lottery, these are all considered to be the same. To get the number of combinations without regard to order, divide that number by 6!=6x5x4x3x2 which is 28,989,675
They are called combinations!
There are only 5 distinct combinations of 4 numbers.(1234, 1235, 1245, 1345, 2345) C = 5! / 4!But there are 120 distinct combinations in distinct order (i.e. 24 ways to order each abcd).abcdabdcacbdacdbadbcadcb
the correct answer is 6
In a combination, the order does not matter so there is just the one combination consisting on the digits 1 to 8.
The whole point of combinations is that the order of the number (or items) does not matter. Once you specify what the second number is, you are no longer looking at combinations.

Just 4: 123, 124, 134 and 234. The order of the numbers does not matter with combinations. If it does, then they are permutations, not combinations.
The maximum value of a Bank of America check can only be determined if the check is a hand-written personal check, cashier's check, or a Bank of America money order check. All are different.

There is only one combination. The order of the digits in combinations makes no difference. They are considered as being different if they are permutations, not combinations.

Since the order of the digits does not matter there are only five combinations: 1234, 1235, 1245, 1345 and 2345.
4 of them. In a combination the order of the numbers does not matter.
