Number of permutations of $n$ elements where no number $i$ is in position $i$

10.5k Views Asked by At

I am trying to figure out how many permutations exist in a set where none of the numbers equal their own position in the set; for example, $3,1,5,2,4$ is an acceptable permutation where $3,1,2,4,5$ is not because 5 is in position 5. I know that the number of total permutations is $n!$.
Is there a formula for how many are acceptable given the case that no position holds its own number?

What you are looking for is known as derangement. However, for counting the number of derangement for say $n$-elements you could possible use a trick, compute$\frac{n!}{e}$ and then round off to an integer and this will give you the desired result.

This is actually another application of $e$, which was discovered by Jacob Bernoulli in the problem of derangement, also known as the hat check problem.
