For example, if we have a total of 10 elements, the integers {1, 2, ..., 10}, a permutation of three elements from this set is (5, 3, 4). In this case, n = 10 and r = 3. To find out how many unique sequences, such as the one previously, we can find, we need to calculate P(10,3) = 720.

An easier way to compute this is to take the first r numbers of n factorial; in this case: take the first 3 numbers in 10 factorial, so you would have 10 times 9 times 8, which equalls 720.

1. P(9, 4) = 9*8*7*6 = 3024
2. P(9, 2) = 9*8 = 72
3. P(7,7) = 7! = 7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 5040
4. P(12,4) = 12*11*10*9 = 11880
5. P(100, 3) = 100*99*98 = 970200
6. 5! = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120
