permutation Definition A permutation is an arrangement of objects in a definite order. Also, it is a mathematical technique that determines the possible arrangements in a set when the order of arrangements matters .

circular permutation The number of circular permutation of n objects is given by P = (n-1)! Where: P is the total number of permutations n is the total number of objects in the set
Examples: Solve: 1. Find the number of permutation of five people around a circular table. Formula: P = (n-1)! Given: P = ? n = 5 Solution: P = (n-1)! P = (5-1)! P = 4! P = 24 ways
Examples: 2. Find the number of circular permutation of seven cheerleaders. Formula: P = (n-1)! Given: P = ? n = 7 Solution: P = (n-1)! P = (7-1)! P = 6! P = 720 ways
