## Quick Answer

Calculate nPr permutations for ordered sets. Enter the total items and sample size to determine the number of distinct possible arrangements.

## Definition

A permutations calculator is a combinatorial tool that computes the total number of ordered arrangements of size r that can be formed from a set of n unique elements. Unlike combinations, the order of elements in permutations is significant. The calculator supports both arrangements without repetition and arrangements with repetition allowed. Permutations are heavily used in cryptography, passwords, coding theory, statistical probability, and orderings.

## How to Use

1. **Choose replication mode** — Toggle between arrangements with repetition allowed or without repetition.
2. **Enter set size (n)** — Input the total number of unique elements in your starting pool.
3. **Enter arrangement size (r)** — Type the number of elements to arrange in the final sequence.
4. **Read the permutations count** — View the calculated permutations with the step-by-step mathematical work.
