How many possible combination are there in a deck of cards?

Using a standard 52 card deck how many different ways could they be arranged in. Please explain the concept and math behind the number.

I think your question is missing something. Your asking for combinations, thus something like “how many combinations of 5 cards are there from a deck of 52?”

But the answers here are permutations, which is what your question seems to imply. If that is the case, then; 52! would be the answer.

If your looking for combinations, say of 5 from the deck, then (52!/5!)
