Sorry I was late with this one:
Now do the division.

cheers.

but i have a new problem which i'll post here and see if anyone can offer a point in the direction of a style of maths used to work something like this out
say i have one table 3 columns wide by 51,366 etc etc rows in length and i have another table 1000 columns wide and 800 rows in length
in the second table each cell is assigned a row of numbers from the first table, is there a formula to work out all the different possible assignments of rows?
]]>i have four 3 digit numbers which run from a value of 0-475
Wouldn't that just be 476×476×476×476 ?
As mathsy said ... 51,336,683,776 of them
i have four 3 digit numbers which run from a value of 0-475
so say at there highest values they would look like this
475-475-475-475
what i want to do is mathematically find out all the different permutations[?] of those numbers, if that makes sense. permutations is what i've been looking at for this but it doesn't appear to handle multi digit values it sort of sticks to things like 123
123
132
213
231
312
321
etc
what i want is all the possible combinations of those combined.
from
0-333-421-55
to
175-22-345-402
to
etc
one thing i noticed with permutation was that if i was to use that and say just use my seperate four 3 digit numbers in one large number 475475475475 i would first have to list those out (BTW this is for a computer program but as i need the math type to work it out i figured the best place would be here) like 475475475475, 475475475474, 475475475473, 475475475472 etc which is well you get the point. and two how do i restrict the value of the digits to the value limit as in the first digits value is max 4 and the second is max 7 etc. anyway that's probably nothing to do with math.
to sum up i'm just looking for a formula like permutation that can work for what i need.
thanks in advance
