I want to know how to calculate how many possible combinations of 6 symbols out of 39 symbols can be made
Each symbol can only be used once in each combination (no AAAABC or ABBBBC)
You can't have the same combination twice, just with a mixed up order (ABCDEF, BDEACF, and FEDACB would all count as one, or the same combination)
It would be great if you could prove to me how/why the formula is or number of combinations you come up with is correct
Thank you a lot
