Hello,

I have 90 numbers that range from 1 to 90.

I would like to have all the combinations of 5 numbers using my 90 numbers.

    Hello

    You are confusing digits and numbers!
    (Digits are to numbers what letters are to words)

    For your question, there are exactly 43,949,268 combinations of 5 elements taken without repetitions from a collection of 90 elements.

    Don't count on me to provide you with the list!

    What is well conceived is clearly stated,
    And the words to say it come easily.

      Hello,

      @shanti: As it seems difficult to handle (and long to display) 43 million data points

      Perhaps by stating what you want to do with it, this number could be reduced.

        Hello Shanti.

        You can still start with the combinations of 5 digits for a set of 9 numbers; there are only 126 ...

        But if you want to move on to a list of 18 numbers, there are already 8,568 combinations!

        As Mariam-j asked you, explain to us what this list is supposed to be for ...

          Hello,

          Given the numbers, it is probably a martingale for Bingo or a related game, but the very idea of creating a martingale on 43 million draws is utterly ridiculous.

          Statistics lead to everything, and one can always dream; it keeps you occupied...
