Combinatoric selections
|

Problem 53
|
||
|
||
There are exactly ten ways of selecting three from five, 12345:
|
||
|
||
123, 124, 125, 134, 135, 145, 234, 235, 245, and 345
|
||
|
||
In combinatorics, we use the notation, 5C3 = 10.
|
||
|
||
In general,
|
||
|
||
nCr = n!/(r!(n−r)!),where r ≤ n, n! = n×(n−1)×...×3×2×1, and 0! = 1.
|
||
It is not until n = 23, that a value exceeds one-million: 23C10 = 1144066.
|
||
|
||
How many, not necessarily distinct, values of nCr, for 1 ≤ n ≤ 100, are greater
|
||
than one-million?
