I need to confirm something about combinations:
1. I need to find the combinations of 5 out of 35. <=> 35C5 = 324.632 combinations.
2. Now I want to try to "fit" these 324.632 combinations of five numbers into sets of 6 numbers. To do that, I first find how many combinations of five numbers is contained in a set of 6 numbers. ( 6C5=6). I then divide the 324.632 combinations by 6, which gives me 54105,333. So, in theory the 324.632 combinations of five could be rearranged into ~ 54.106 sets of 6 numbers.
Is that correct? And if so, how can I find out how many of the ~ 54.106 combinations contain 5 specific numbers?
