Question: how many combinations of 4 numbers from 5?
Answer: Hence there are 2 choices for the fourth digit and only 1 choice for the fifth digit. Thus you have made 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 1 = 120 choices and there are 120 possible 5 digit numbers made from 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 if you don't allow any digit to be repeated.
