that is, &nbsp;multiply the number of possible characters in each postion
</div>


that is,  multiply the number of possible characters in each postion

<div>
where is 3 coming from? &nbsp;And why only 2 of them? &nbsp;There are 5 positions.<br />
<br />
<br />
26 is the correct for the first character.<br />
<br />
how many characters for the second? multiply that, then how many for the third, multiply that, and so on.<br />
<br />
Look at the previous question. &nbsp;See the pattern?

26 is the correct for the first character.

how many characters for the second? multiply that, then how many for the third, multiply that, and so on.

Look at the previous question.  See the pattern?

Techn9cian &nbsp;- no that's not correct &nbsp; (your math is right, but the answer to this question is wrong)<br />
<br />
also, it's clear I was trying to help him understand &quot;how&quot; to do it.<br />
<br />
I gave the answer directly last time because he appeared to be on the right track. &nbsp;In this case the attemp 26* &nbsp;appears to be just a random guess. &nbsp;So I'm walking through the logic

<div>
set {A,...,Z,0,1,....9})<br />
A....Z=26+0+9<br />
<br />
it should be 36 because of zero. I may be wrong:<br />
26*36*36*36*36*36<br />
<br />

</div>


set {A,...,Z,0,1,....9})
A....Z=26+0+9

it should be 36 because of zero. I may be wrong:
26*36*36*36*36*36



<div>
yes exactly!<br />
<br />
26 for the first &nbsp;<br />
36 for each of the following 5<br />
<br />
you simply multiply the number available for each position<br />
<br />
or in power notation &nbsp;26*36^5 &nbsp;same thing, just different way of writing it

that's a different question entirely

log(1572120576) / log(2)<br />

The Math / Science topic primarily includes discussions of mathematics, physics, statistics and economic analysis, but also biology, chemistry and other sciences.

Math / Science

A miscellany is defined as a "collection of various pieces of writing by different authors", but it has come to mean something "Of items gathered or considered together of various types or from different sources" or "a collection or group composed of members or elements of different kinds". The word "miscellaneous" comes from the Latin word "miscere", meaning "to mix." You might have heard the expression "a mixed bag," which applies when you don't quite know what you're going to get. More commonly, a miscellaneous group is made up of an odd group of things that don't fit anywhere else.
