... • Then count the number of permuting those 5 numbers (this will give the cycles of length 5), and divide this number by 5 (so as to account for the fact that one can cyclically permute the entries in a cycle). This gives 5!/5 = 120/5 = 24. • Finally, multiply the above two numbers, to get 21 · 24 = ...
