Math Problem Statement
How many different 5-digit numbers can be written by arranging the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5?
Solution
To find how many different 5-digit numbers can be formed by arranging the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, we need to calculate the number of permutations of these five digits.
A permutation is an arrangement of all elements of a set in a specific order. The number of permutations of distinct objects is given by (n factorial).
For this problem, there are 5 distinct digits (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). The number of different 5-digit numbers that can be formed is:
Thus, 120 different 5-digit numbers can be formed by arranging the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
