Another way to think about this problem is in terms of distributing k identical balls into n distinct boxes.

Each box can receive at most one ball, and the number of ways to do this is equivalent to the number of k-element combinations from n objects.

The notation n! represents the factorial of n, which is the product of all positive integers up to n.
