MULTINOMIAL

Syntax:

MULTINOMIAL ( argument-list )

Description: Computes the ratio of the factorial of the sum of the values in argument-list to the product of the factorials.

Mathematical Formula:

The multinomial is:

Arguments:

Name	Type	Description
argument-list	number	The arguments in argument-list designate the numerical values for which the multinomial is desired.

 

Return Type and Value: number – The ratio of the factorial of the sum of the values in argument-list to the product of the factorials.

However, if any argument is less than zero, #NUM! is returned.

[Example:

MULTINOMIAL(2) results in 1
MULTINOMIAL(2,3) results in 10
MULTINOMIAL(2,3,4) results in 1260
