Question 1156748: In the Lotto 6/42, a 6-number combination is drawn form a lot of numbers from 1 to 42 at random. How many 6-number combinations are possible in this lotto? Answer by ikleyn(52803) (Show Source):
If I remember correctly from my childhood years, this lottery is with no repetition.
What I do not remember, is if the order is important or not.
If the order is important, then the number under the question is
42*41*40*39*38*37.
If the order is not important, then the number is the number of combinations
