Step 1
Recall the formula for permutations:
n P r = n ! ( n - r ) !
Therefore: 7 P 2 = 7 ! ( 7 - 2 ) !
Step 2
This calculation can be performed by hand without too much difficulty:
7 P 2 = 7 ! ( 7 - 2 ) !
= 7 ! 5 !
= 7 6 5 ! 5 !
7 6 5 ! 5 !
= 7 6 = 42
This means that there are 42 ways to choose 2 objects from a set of 7 if order is important (i.e. 12 and 21 are two different ways to choose).
