The number of k-combinations for all k is the number of subsets of a set of n elements. There are several ways to see that this number is 2 n . In terms of combinations, ∑ 0 ≤ k ≤ n ( n k ) = 2 n {\textstyle \sum _{0\leq {k}\leq {n}}{\binom {n}{k}}=2^{n}} , which is the sum of the n th row (counting from 0) of the binomial coefficients in ...
Suppose one wants to determine the 5-combination at position 72. The successive values of () for n = 4, 5, 6, ... are 0, 1, 6, 21, 56, 126, 252, ..., of which the largest one not exceeding 72 is 56, for n = 8. Therefore c 5 = 8, and the remaining elements form the 4-combination at position 72 − 56 = 16.

Combinations and permutations in the mathematical sense are described in several articles. Described together, in-depth: Twelvefold way; Explained separately in a more accessible way: Combination; Permutation; For meanings outside of mathematics, please see both words’ disambiguation pages: Combination (disambiguation) Permutation ...
This would have been the first attempt on record to solve a difficult problem in permutations and combinations. [4] Al-Khalil (717–786), an Arab mathematician and cryptographer, wrote the Book of Cryptographic Messages. It contains the first use of permutations and combinations, to list all possible Arabic words with and without vowels. [5]
No. 32 appeared most often — 173 times — among the first five balls drawn in winning combinations, followed by the No. 39 in 163 combinations, according to data.
Rather, as explained under combinations, the number of n-multicombinations from a set with x elements can be seen to be the same as the number of n-combinations from a set with x + n − 1 elements. This reduces the problem to another one in the twelvefold way, and gives as result
