Assuming that the letters don't have to make an actual real word, the answer would be the product of the number of letters in the alphabet multiplied by the number of letters in the alphabet -1 multiplied by the numbers of the alphabet -2. That is to say:
26 x 25 x 24
which is equal to 15,600.
The number is 26*25*24 = 15600.
When trying to work out how many different combinations there are, you need to know how many options there are for each value. If the password only contains lower case letters, then we have 26 options for each value. For each letter in the password, there are 26 options, so the total number of possible options is 26x26x26x26x26x26 or 266 This equals 308,915,776 so there are 308,915,776 possible different combinations of six letters.
You have eight letters to work with, and can use any four of them, but only once per combination. That means that the total number of possible combinations you can make is: 8! / (8 - 4)! = 8! / 4! = 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 = 1680 So there are 1680 possible combinations.
If you pick from each of the possible letters at each stage, then there are 5 possible options for the first letter. Then there are 4 possible options for the second. Then there are 3 possible options for the 3rd and so on. This leaves us with 5x4x3x2 = 120 different arrangements. However, each arrangement has been counted twice, as it doesn't matter which way around the Os go. So to get the true answer, we need to divide by 2. 120/2 = 60, and therefore the number of different arrangements of the letters in the word COLOR is 60.
They have no specific meaning. The order of letters and numbers are used to generate the largest number of possible combinations.
In the word "function" you have 8 letters. 6 different letters and 2 equal letters.The number of different arrangements that are possible to get are:6!∙8C2 = 720∙(28) = 20 160 different arrangements.
There are 26 possible letters and 10 possible numbers. The number of license plates possible is then 26*26*10*10*10*10 = 6760000.
Number of possible groups of 3 letters = 26 x 25 x 24 = 15,600. For each of these . . .Number of possible groups of 3 digits = 9 x 9 x 8 = 648 .Total number of possible distinct plates = 15,600 x 648 = 10,108,800
676 of them.
If the first letter must be an s or t, then the remaining three letters can be any letters at all. This means there are 26 possible entries for each of those spots. The total number of combinations is then 2 x 6 x 26 x 26 or 35,152.
The first letter can be any one of the 6 letters. For each of those . . .The second letter can be any one of the remaining 5 letters. For each of those . . .The third letter can be any one of the remaining 4 letters. For each of those . . .The fourth letter can be any one of the remaining 3 letters. For each of those . . .The fifth letter can be any one of the remaining 2 letters.The total number of different ways they can be arranged is (6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2) = 720 .
A number is not a letter.
