Given:
Word SUCCESS
To Find:
The number of strings that can be made by reordering the letters.
Solution:
- If all the letters of a word are unique then the total number of strings forms will be equal to the factorial of the number of letters.
- In the given word SUCCESS we have got 7! combinations if all the letters were unique.
- But since we have 2 Cs and 3Ss. we have to divide by 2! and 3!.
- In Mathematics ''Factorial is a multiplication operation of natural numbers with all the natural numbers that are less than it''.
So,
7!/(3!2!) = (7×6×5×4×3×2×1)/(3×2×1×2×1)
7! = (7×6×5×4×3×2×1)
3! = (3×2×1)
2! = (2×1)
7!/(3!2!) = 420
Hence, 420 strings can be made by reordering the letters of the word SUCCESS
