 Permutation
The permutation of objects taken 𝑛 at a time is
denoted by 𝑛𝑃𝑛, where

𝑛 𝑃𝑛 = 𝑛 ∙ 𝑛 − 1 ∙ 𝑛 − 2 ∙ 𝑛 − 3 ∙ ⋯∙3 ∙ 2 ∙1
 𝟓 𝑷𝟓

5 𝑃5 = 5 ∙ 4 ∙ 3 ∙ 2 ∙ 1 = 120
 𝟔 𝑷𝟔

6 𝑃6 =6∙5∙4∙3∙2∙1
 𝟖 𝑷𝟖

8 𝑃8 =8∙7∙6∙5∙4∙3∙2∙1
 Example
In how many ways can nine photo albums be
arranged on a shelf?
 Evaluate the following:
1. 9!
2. 6!
3. 12!
 𝟔!
6! = 6 ∙ 5 ∙ 4 ∙ 3 ∙ 2 ∙ 1
6! = 6 ∙ 5 ∙ 4 ∙ 3 ∙ 2 ∙ 1
6! = 6 ∙ 5!
