Distinguishable Ways to Arrange the Word READ
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 READ be arranged.

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

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

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

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

step 2 Apply the values extracted from the word READ 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 READ = 24

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

Apart from the word READ, 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.
