To refer to combinations in which repetition is allowed, the terms k-combination with repetition, k-multiset, [2] or k-selection, [3] are often used. [4] If, in the above example, it were possible to have two of any one kind of fruit there would be 3 more 2-selections: one with two apples, one with two oranges, and one with two pears.
One must divide the number of combinations producing the given result by the total number of possible combinations (for example, () =,,).The numerator equates to the number of ways to select the winning numbers multiplied by the number of ways to select the losing numbers.
A k-combination of a set S is a subset of S with k (distinct) elements. The main purpose of the combinatorial number system is to provide a representation, each by a single number, of all () possible k-combinations of a set S of n elements.
Here is a set of four fours solutions for the numbers 0 through 32, using typical rules. Some alternate solutions are listed here, although there are actually many more correct solutions. The entries in blue are those that use four integers 4 (rather than four digits 4) and the basic arithmetic operations. Numbers without blue entries have no ...

The possible row (or column) permutations form a group isomorphic to S 3 ≀ S 3 of order 3! 4 = 1,296. [4] The whole rearrangement group is formed by letting the transposition operation (isomorphic to C 2 ) act on two copies of that group, one for the row permutations and one for the column permutations.
The digits must be ordered in a certain way to get the correct number, so we want to select an ordered sample. As the statement says, no digit was chosen more than once, so our sample will not have repeated digits. So, it is required to select an ordered sample of 4 elements out of a set of 10 elements, in which repetition is not allowed.
This would have been the first attempt on record to solve a difficult problem in permutations and combinations. [4] Al-Khalil (717–786), an Arab mathematician and cryptographer, wrote the Book of Cryptographic Messages. It contains the first use of permutations and combinations, to list all possible Arabic words with and without vowels. [5]
