Math formula to calculate total combinations that a set of numbers create from a pool of numbers.
Here is the math formula to calculate how many combinations a set of numbers creates from a given pool of numbers. Example 6/49. 49x48x47x46x45x44 divided by 1x2x3x4x5x6 ( 10,068,347,520 / 720 ) = 13,983,816 six number combinations without repeat of numbers in each combination. How many 6 number combinations in a pool of 8 numbers ? Total combinations is 28. 8x7x6x5x4x3 divided by 1x2x3x4x5x6 (20160/720)=28 How about 2 number combinations in a pool of 8 numbers ? 8x7 divi

Covering Designs - MM and PBReply
This is a mathematical covering design (or lottery wheel) that reduces the total number pool of Powerball/Mega Millions into just 350 combinations of 12-number sets . This specific optimization guarantees a 100% catch-rate for a 3-match and a 50% probability of hitting a 4-match , significantly lowering the cost while maintaining high efficiency.
