What is Grouping Factor?

The grouping factor, also known as a combination or binomial coefficient, represents the number of ways to choose a subset of items from a larger set, where the order of selection does not matter.

Example Calculation

Let's calculate the Grouping Factor for a set of items:

Step 1: Calculate the Grouping Factor (GF):

$$ GF = \frac{8!}{3! \cdot (8 - 3)!} = \frac{40320}{6 \cdot 120} = 56 $$

Therefore, the Grouping Factor (GF) is 56.
