sam burned a CD with 6 songs how many ways can Sam arrange songs on a CD
6! = 6 factorial = 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 *1 = ?
To find the number of ways Sam can arrange the songs on the CD, we can use the concept of permutations.
The formula for finding the number of permutations of objects taken from a set is given by n! / (n - r)!, where n is the total number of objects and r is the number of objects being arranged.
In this case, Sam has 6 songs and wants to arrange all of them on the CD, so n = 6 and r = 6. Let's substitute these values into the formula:
6! / (6 - 6)!
= 6! / 0!
= 6! / 1
= 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
= 720
Therefore, there are 720 different ways Sam can arrange the songs on the CD.
