`T = "number of ways to select X items out of N items"`
`(N)"number of items"`
`(X)"number of items chosen"`

The Combinatorials equation is used to calculate how many ways an N number of items can be chosen.
For example: How many ways are there to place 20 items in 6 containers? Based on this question the order doesn't matter, but each item can only be in one container at a time. Using this calculator, the answer will be 53,130.
