Hi Jackie, I am assuming that you can't repeat numbers. The number of ways of choosing k things from n things is n!/[k! (n - k)!] where n! is n × (n - 1) × (n - 2) ×···× 2 × 1. Thus the number of ways of choosing 3 numbers from 14 numbers is
I am not going to list them for you but I will show you a way to list them yourself. Think of the numbers from 1 to 14 as the first 14 letters in the alphabet and list all 3 letter words made from these letters, with no repeated letters, in alphabetical order. They start this way
