I have 32 postcards and 2 frames which they will be mounted in (each with 16 places). How do I work out how many combinations? Would it be any different if it were 1 frame with 32 places?
You have 32 cards and 32 places. 32 cards can go in first place, 31 in second, and so on. So combinations are 32 factorial. 32 x 31 x 30 x 29 x ... That is an awful lot of combinations!
