  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 divided by 1x2 (56/2) =28

   Math is great as it does not lie, unlike humans..lol.
