Determine the number of permutations of the letters of the word "sedlection."

"Selection" not "sedlection."

There are 9! ways to arrange nine distinct letters. However we divide by 2! because of the E's. If we were to treat the E's as distinct there would be 9! ways but here, we can arrange the E's themselves in 2! ways, leaving 9!/2! = 181440.
