Evaluate the combination:

5C5

Combination Definition:

A unique order or arrangement

Combination Formula:

nCr =	n!
	r!(n - r)!

where n is the number of items
r is the unique arrangements.

Plug in n = 5 and r = 5

5C5 2	5!
	5!(5 - 5)!

Factorial Formula:

n! = n * (n - 1) * (n - 2) * .... * 2 * 1

Calculate the numerator n!:

n! = 5!

5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

5! = 120

Calculate (n - r)!:

(n - r)! = (5 - 5)!

(5 - 5)! = 0!

0! =

0! = 1

Calculate r!:

r! = 5!

5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

5! = 120

Calculate 5C5

5C5 =	120
	120 x 1

5C5 =	120
	120

5C5 = 1

Excel or Google Sheets formula:

=COMBIN(5,5)
