Question 473212: to win at LOTTO in one state,one must correctly select 4 numbers from a collection of 45 numbers 1-45. how many different selections are possible? Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since order matters, you can either compute 45 P 4 or you can realize that there are 45 choices for the first slot, 44 for the second, and so on and then multiply those choices to get:
45*44*43*42 = 3575880
So there are 3575880 different selections possible.
