How many letter permutations are there in FAMILY

1 answer

The word "FAMILY" has six letters.

To find the number of distinguishable permutations of the letters in the word "FAMILY," we need to use the formula for permutations of n objects taken k at a time, which is given by:

P(n, k) = n! / (n - k)!

We want to find the number of distinguishable permutations of all six letters, so we need to calculate P(6, 6):

P(6, 6) = 6! / (6 - 6)! = 6! / 0! = 720

Therefore, there are 720 distinguishable permutations of the letters in the word "FAMILY."
