Why do we divide Permutations to get to Combinations?

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP 15 6 $begingroup$ I'm having a hard time reasoning through the formula for combinations $fracn!k!left(n-kright)!$ . I understand the reason for the permutations formula and I know that for the combinations we divide by $k!$ to adjust for the repeated cases, since order does not matter. But what exactly happens when we divide the set of permutations by $k!$ ? I know this may seem like a silly question... I just can't take this for granted, lest I miss a chance to apply it correctly. Can you describe what's happening here step by step, sort like debugging a script? combinatorics permutations share | cite | improve this question edited Feb 20 at 21:36 Bernard 123k 7 41 116 asked Feb 20 at 21:31 Daniel Oscar Daniel Oscar 348 11 $endgroup$ add a comment  |  15 6 $begingroup$ I'm having a hard time reasoning through the formula for combinations $fracn!k!left(n-kri...
