Find the circular permutation for 5 things taken 5 at a time.

Solution:

Given 5 things are taken 5 at a time

Circular permutation is the total number of ways in which n distinct objects can be arranged around a fixed circle. It is done in (n-1) factorial ways.

Circular permutations for n elements = P_n = (n - 1)!

Here, n = 5

P_n = P₅ = (5 - 1)!

P₅ = 4!

P₅ = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1

P₅ = 24

Therefore, the total ways are 24.

Find the circular permutation for 5 things taken 5 at a time.

Summary:

The circular permutation for 5 things taken 5 at a time is 24.
