The symbol nCr stands for the number of combinations of r things that
can be formed from n different things.
nCr = n! / (r! X (n - r)!) where the "!" symbol stands for factorial
In this case n = 49, r = 6 so the formula becomes 49! / (6! X 4!)
which is equivalent to
3.5201496761242335698 625703895908e+58
This is the total number of combinations that you can make using the numbers from 1 - 49 and using 6 numbers in each combinations.
A very large number indeed!!!!!!!
P.S: I had to include a space in the number so this website would display the whole thing and not use ellipses after the first few digits.

Any one number has odds of 1/49.
Two numbers 1/49 x 1/ 49 and so on
1.38x 10^6 to 1 against.

Can the numbers be used more than once(1,1,1,1,1,1)?
If not the answer is as the first poster noted, if yes then it is 49^6.
ALL YOU PEOPLE ARE GIVING THE WRONG ANSWER
49*48*47*46*45*44= 10,068,347,520 (thats 10 BILLION)
