© How many numbers, of 9 digit numbers, which have all different digits ?

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

so it can not repeat right? since it says "different".

OpenStudy (goformit100):

ok

There is 10 choices for the ones digit, 9 for the tens and going all the way to the 9th digit and so on. But note that the 9th digit on the left will only have 1 choice since it can't be 0 hence we get:\[\bf \frac{ 10! }{ 2 }=1814400 \ ways\]

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

so remember that when you multiply you delete one and another each time.....like 9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 so you do not repeat any of the numbers... does that make sense?

@goformit100 This is basically a permutations question so treat it that way..

@goformit100 it's not 9!....

OpenStudy (goformit100):

ok...

@Luis_Rivera No you don't. There is 10 options for the first place value, 9 for the second, all the way to the last place value which only has 1 option since it can't be 0. Hence we get:\[\bf \frac{ 10! }{ 2 }=1,814,440 \ ways\]

OpenStudy (goformit100):

ok I got it @genius12 Thanks
