2 Permutations of 5 MathCelebrity logo Image to Crop

Evaluate the following permutation

2P5

Permutation Definition:

An order or arrangement

Permutation Formula:
nPr  =  n!
  (n - r)!

where n is the number of items
r is the number of arrangements.

Plug in n = 2 and r = 5
2P5  2  2!
  (2 - 5)!

Factorial Formula:

n! = n * (n - 1) * (n - 2) * .... * 2 * 1

Calculate n!:

n! = 2!

2! = 2 x 1

2! = 2

Calculate (n - r)!:

(n - r)! = (2 - 5)!

(2 - 5)! = -3!

-3! =

-3! = 1

Calculate 2P5:
2P5  =  2
  1

2P5 = 2
