Solution and Explanation

To determine how many six-digit numbers can be formed using the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, we need to consider the number of choices for each digit position. 

For the first digit position (leftmost), we have 7 choices (excluding 0 since a six-digit number cannot start with 0). 

For the remaining five digit positions (from left to right), we have 8 choices (including 0) since all digits are available. 

Therefore, the total number of six-digit numbers that can be formed is obtained by multiplying the number of choices for each digit position: 

Total number of six-digit numbers = 7 * 8 * 8 * 8 * 8 * 8 = 7 * 8^5 = 7 * 32768 = 229,376 

Hence, there are 229,376 six-digit numbers that can be formed using the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

Permutation:

Permutation is the method or the act of arranging members of a set into an order or a sequence. 

  • In the process of rearranging the numbers, subsets of sets are created to determine all possible arrangement sequences of a single data point. 
  • A permutation is used in many events of daily life. It is used for a list of data where the data order matters.

Combination:

Combination is the method of forming subsets by selecting data from a larger set in a way that the selection order does not matter.

  • Combination refers to the combination of about n things taken k at a time without any repetition.
  • The combination is used for a group of data where the order of data does not matter.
