Hi there folks i hope someone can help with this problem.
Im in the business of making some interchangeable objects and looking for a calculator to assist in working out the total number of permutations or combinations.
(sorry I'm unsure if I'm after number of permutations or combinations, i think its permutations?)
I have seen some tools available on the web but my problem cannot be solved with the tools i have found so far, i will try to explain my problem below and if someone is aware of a tool i can use to solve the e.g. problem and similar problems i will be much appreciative.
I have several parts i need to solve the same problem but below is an e.g. of 1 of my parts.
Eg Part 1
Part 1 is made up of 5 segments and each segment is available in different numbers of variation.
All 5 segments must be in order to make up the part but only 1 option per segment.
Segment 1 is available in 5 Options
Segment 2 is available in 25 Options
Segment 3 is available in 5 Options
Segment 4 is available in 10 Options
Segment 5 is available in 5 Options
How many different parts (or variations of segments) can i make from the available 5 segments using the available number of options per segment?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Cheers
