How Many Ways are There to Order the Letters of Word HI?
The 2 letters word HI can be arranged in 2 distinct ways. The below detailed information shows how to find how many ways are there to order the letters HI and how it is being calculated in the real world problems.
Distinguishable Ways to Arrange the Word HI
The below step by step work generated by the word permutations calculator shows how to find how many different ways can the letters of the word HI be arranged.
Objective:
Find how many distinguishable ways are there to order the letters in the word HI.
Step by step workout:
step 1 Address the formula, input parameters and values to find how many ways are there to order the letters HI.
Formula:
nPr =n!/(n1! n2! . . . nr!)
Input parameters and values:
Total number of letters in HI:
n = 2
Distinct subsets:
Subsets : H = 1; I = 1;
Subsets' count:
n1(H) = 1, n2(I) = 1
step 2 Apply the values extracted from the word HI in the (nPr) permutations equation
nPr = 2!/(1! 1! )
= 1 x 2/{(1) (1)}
= 2/1
= 2
nPr of word HI = 2
Hence,
The letters of the word HI can be arranged in 2 distinct ways.
Apart from the word HI, 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.
