You can put this solution on YOUR website! How many different groups of 5 can be made using the numbers 1 through 52
--------------
If repetition is allowed, ie, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 then it's 52^5
= 380,204,032
-------------------
If there is no repetition:
The 1st choice is 1 of 52
then 1 of 51, 50, etc
--> 52*51*50*49*48
= 311,875,200
-----------
If the order is not relevant, ie, if
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 is considered to be the same as 1, 2, 3, 5, 4 then divide by
5! = 120
-----
--> 2,598,960
