Unique Ways to Arrange the Word PHONE
The below step by step work generated by this permutation calculator shows how to find how many different ways, the letters of the word PHONE can be arranged.
Objective:
Find how many distinguishable ways are there to order the letters in the word PHONE.
Step by step workout:
step 1 Address the formula, input parameters and values to find how many ways are there to order the letters PHONE.
Formula:
nPr =n!/(n1! n2! . . . nr!)
Input parameters and values:
Total number of letters in PHONE:
n = 5
Distinct subsets:
Subsets : P = 1; H = 1; O = 1; N = 1; E = 1;
Subsets' count:
n1(P) = 1, n2(H) = 1, n3(O) = 1, n4(N) = 1, n5(E) = 1
step 2 Apply the values extracted from the word PHONE in the (nPr) permutations equation
nPr = 5!/(1! 1! 1! 1! 1! )
= 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5/{(1) (1) (1) (1) (1)}
= 120/1
= 120
nPr of word PHONE = 120
Hence,
The letters of the word PHONE can be arranged in 120 distinct ways.
Apart from the word PHONE, 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.
