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!
The number of combinations you can make using 6 letters depends on whether the letters can be repeated or not, and whether the order matters. If the letters are distinct and order does not matter, the number of combinations is calculated using the binomial coefficient, which is ( \binom{n}{k} ), where ( n ) is the total number of letters and ( k ) is the number of letters chosen. If order matters, you would use permutations instead. Please specify if you want a specific calculation or context!
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.

4 of them. In a combination the order of the numbers does not matter.
Only 1. In a combination, the order of the digits does not matter.
