How many different soccer teams of 11 players can you form form a class of 30 students?  (Combinations - order does not matter)

nchoosek(30,11) = 54627300

Since each player on a soccer team is assigned a particular role, order does matter.  Recalculate the possible number of different soccer teams that can be formed when order is taken into account.

factorial(30)/factorial(30-11) = 2.1805e+015

I'm concerned that I'm getting the wrong answer because the answers are so large.  Am I solving this problem correctly?
