Distinguishable Ways to Arrange the Word GEORGIA
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 GEORGIA be arranged.

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

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

Input parameters and values:
Total number of letters in GEORGIA:
n = 7

Distinct subsets:
Subsets : G = 2; E = 1; O = 1; R = 1; I = 1; A = 1;
Subsets' count:
n1(G) = 2, n2(E) = 1, n3(O) = 1, n4(R) = 1, n5(I) = 1, n6(A) = 1

step 2 Apply the values extracted from the word GEORGIA in the (nPr) permutations equation
nPr = 7!/(2! 1! 1! 1! 1! 1! )

= 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 7/{(1 x 2) (1) (1) (1) (1) (1)}

= 5040/2

= 2520
nPr of word GEORGIA = 2520

Hence,
The letters of the word GEORGIA can be arranged in 2520 distinct ways.

Apart from the word GEORGIA, 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.
