COMBIN(n,r)
- is the number of items.
- is the number of items in each arrangement.
is the number of items.
is the number of items in each arrangement.Description
- This function gives the combination of objects.
- i.e. An arrangement of objects without any repetition, selected from different objects is called a combination of objects taken at a time.
- Also if the order is not a matter, it is a Combination.
- If order is a matter it is a Permutation.
- A combination is denoted by nCr or .
- A formula for the number of possible combinations of objects from a set of objects is where & .
- This function will give Error Result when
.
where 
& 
.- The Failed to parse (syntax error): {\displaystyle n & r} are non numeric
- The Failed to parse (syntax error): {\displaystyle n & r < 0} or
- When we are giving the Failed to parse (syntax error): {\displaystyle n & r} values in decimals, it will automatically convert in to Integers.
- For e.g.
- COMBIN(5.4,2)=10 is equivalent to COMBIN(5,2)
- COMBIN(5,-2)=NAN, because is negative.
Examples
| COMBIN(n,r) | n | r | RESULT |
|---|---|---|---|
| COMBIN(12,3) | 12 | 3 | 220 |
| COMBIN(4,4) | 4 | 4 | 1 |
| COMBIN(4,0) | 4 | 0 | 1 |
