How many permutations can we have of:
6 distinct items arranged around a circle?
Circular Permutation:
Take n distinct permutations
Arrange them around a circle
Circular Permutation Formula
Pn = (n - 1)!
Plug in n = 6
P6 = (n - 1)!
P6 = (6 - 1)!
P6 = 5!
P6 = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
P6 = 120
Excel or Google Sheets formula:
Excel or Google Sheets formula:=FACT(5)What is the Answer?
P6 = 120
