OpenStudy (uri):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

See, for the first place you can choose any of the 7 digits except 0. for the second you have 7 choices and so on...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^ No that can't be 8!

OpenStudy (dan815):

8!/3!

OpenStudy (uri):

8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1?

OpenStudy (uri):

from where is 3! coming from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^ You can't have 0 in the first place. Since, 09 or 095 is treated as 1 and 2 digits numbers repectively.

OpenStudy (dan815):

cuz its 5 spots 8*7*6*5*4

OpenStudy (uri):

It's 5 spots so won't it be 5!?

OpenStudy (dan815):

or8!/(8-5)! =8!/3!
