Question 1178176: What is the answer in the following?
•P(n,n-1)=6
•P(16,4)=208•P(n,2)

•P(n,n-1)=6

P(n,n-1) has the same value as P(n,n), which is n!:

P(n,n-1) = n(n-1)...(3)(2) = n(n-1)...(3)(2)(1) = n!

So the first problem is

n! = 6

Trivially, the answer is n=3.

•P(16,4)=208•P(n,2)





Clearly n=15.
