Find the circular permutation for 5 things taken 5 at a time.
It is 4! = 24
Think of it as a row permutation 5! divided by 5 because the circle design makes 5 different row arrangements all the same, et cetera.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
24.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to find the circular permutation for 5 things taken 5 at a time.
We will use circular permutation formula to solve our given problem.
The number of ways to arrange n distinct objects along a fixed circle is
: \(P_n=(n-1)!\).
Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,
\(P_5=(5-1)!\)
\(P_5=4!\)
\(P_5=24\)
Therefore, circular permutation for 5 things taken 5 at a time is 24.
