You can put this solution on YOUR website! A party has 6 different door prizes. If there are 42 guests at the party and nobody can win more than one prize, how many ways are there to give out the prizes?
---
1st prize: 42 ways
2nd prize: 41 ways
...
6th prize: 37 ways

Ans: 42P6 = 42!/(42-6) = 42!/36! = 42*41*40*39*38*37 = 3,776,965,920 ways
