Question

A password is to consist of six lowercase letters. How many passwords are possible?

Answer 1

`26^6=308915776`

Explanation:

We have to pick a password with six lowercase letters, since there's `26` letters in the english alphabet we can simply multiply:

`26xx26xx26xx26xx26xx26`

Or

`26^6="A very big number..."`

`308915776` to be exact.

This is assuming you are able to select the same letter multiple times.
