There are 10 variables that can have 115 possible values. These values can not repeat. How do I calculate the number of all possible combinations?

It is the faculty of 115 divided by the faculty of 115-10.
115! / (115-10)!
115 * 114 * 113 * 112 * 111 * 110 * 109 * 108 * 107 * 106
Because for the first of 10 variables you have a choice of 115 values, for the second one less, i.e. 114 ... and so on.
