How many permutations can we have of:
12 distinct items arranged around a circle?
Circular Permutation:
Take n distinct permutations
Arrange them around a circle
Circular Permutation Formula
Pn = (n - 1)!
Plug in n = 12
P12 = (n - 1)!
P12 = (12 - 1)!
P12 = 11!
P12 = 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
P12 = 39,916,800
Excel or Google Sheets formula:
=FACT(11)
What is the Answer?
P12 = 39,916,800
