How many permutations can we have of:
5 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 = 5
P5 = (n - 1)!
P5 = (5 - 1)!
P5 = 4!
P5 = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
P5 = 24
Excel or Google Sheets formula:
Excel or Google Sheets formula:=FACT(4)What is the Answer?
P5 = 24
