Question

Can anyone make me clear, why do we multiply in permutation?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Is there any other reason for using multiplication like that we have of log .. For eg: log is used when u want to divide the inputs by some factor. We have Log4 (base 2)=2, why? because log means that we are dividing 4 by 2, two times until we get 1, which is, 4/2=2, 2/2=1 (which is two times) .. thats why we use log, to reach a point where we can't divide the input further .. now my question in here asks why we use multiplication? obviously not just because its giving us the right answer!! I hope i have made myself clear enlightenment
