    4C3: 4 CHOOSE 3

    nCr - Combination Calculator

    4C3: 4 choose 3 work with steps provide the detailed information about what is the total number of possible combinations occur (nCk) while choosing 3 elements at a time from 8 distinct elements without considering the order of elements.

    nCk of 4C3:
    4 CHOOSE 3 = 4
    where,
    4 is the total number of distinct elements (n),
    3 is the the number of elements drawn or choosen at a time (k),
    4 is the total number of possible combination (C).

    4C3 Points to Remember:

    • 4 CHOOSE 3 can also be denoted as 4C3.
    • Draw 3 out of 4 elements at a time and replace the drawn elements again after the event occurred in the statistical experiments.
    • In 4 possible combinations, AB and BA are not considered as different events.
    • AB and BA considered as a single combination in 4 events.

    How-to find nCk: 4 CHOOSE 3?

    4C3 is the type of nCr or nCk problem. The below 4 choose 3 work with steps help users to understand the combinations nCk formula, input parameters and how to find how many possible combinations/events occur while drawing 3 elements at a time from 4 distinct elements without considering the order of elements.

    Solved Example: :
    what is 4 choose 3?

    step 1 Address the input parameters and observe what to be found:
    Input values:
    Total number of distinct elements (n) = 4
    The number of elements drawn at a time (k) = 3

    What to be found:
    Find the total number of possible combinations while choosing 3 elements at a time from 4 distinct elements without considering the order of elements.

    step 2 Find the factorial of 4:
    4! = 1 x 2 x 3 x 4

    step 3 Find the factorial of 3:
    3! = 1 x 2 x 3

    step 4 Find the factorial of difference between 4 and 3:
    (4 - 3)! = 1!
    1! = 1

    step 5 Apply the values of 4!, 3! and 1! in the nCk formula:
    nCk = n!/k! (n - k)!
    4C3 =4!/3! x 1!

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

    step 6 Simplify the above 4C3 equation:
    =1 x 2 x 3 x 4/(1 x 2 x 3) x (1)

    = 4/1
    = 4/1

    4C3 = 4

    Hence,
    4 choose 3 equals to 4
