There is a group of 7 people and 4 chairs are available. You want to seat 4, then the order matters First chair can be filled in 7 ways Second chair can be filled in 6 ways Third chair can be filled in 5 ways Fourth chair can be filled in 4 ways Total ways = 7 * 6 * 5 * 4
On the other hand, if you are making a team of 4 from a group of 7, order does not matters. Its 7C4 A = First person can be chosen in 7 ways B = Second person - 6 ways C = Third person - 5 ways D = Fourth person - 4 ways
But ABCD = BCDA = CDAB = DABA ..... etc So you have duplicates. There will be 4! duplicates per selection
To make unique teams, you will have to divide by 4! Hence no of ways = 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 / (4!) = 7C4
