Unique Ways to Arrange the Word CARS
The below step by step work generated by this permutation calculator shows how to find how many different ways, the letters of the word CARS can be arranged.

Objective:
Find how many distinguishable ways are there to order the letters in the word CARS.

Step by step workout:
step 1 Address the formula, input parameters and values to find how many ways are there to order the letters CARS.
Formula:
nPr =n!/(n1! n2! . . . nr!)

Input parameters and values:
Total number of letters in CARS:
n = 4

Distinct subsets:
Subsets : C = 1; A = 1; R = 1; S = 1;
Subsets' count:
n1(C) = 1, n2(A) = 1, n3(R) = 1, n4(S) = 1

step 2 Apply the values extracted from the word CARS in the (nPr) permutations equation
nPr = 4!/(1! 1! 1! 1! )

= 1 x 2 x 3 x 4/{(1) (1) (1) (1)}

= 24/1

= 24
nPr of word CARS = 24

Hence,
The letters of the word CARS can be arranged in 24 distinct ways.

Apart from the word CARS, you may try different words with various lengths with or without repetition of letters to observe how it affects the nPr word permutation calculation to find how many ways the letters in the given word can be arranged.
