What is a multiple choices combination? (Definition)
A choice combination is a series of choices made from among several possibilities. When several options have several choices (multiple choices), then it is possible to list all the combinations of choices offered.

| green | S |
| green | M |
| green | L |
| green | XL |

How to calculate the total number of combinations?
The total number is equal to the multiplication of the number of each possible choices.
Example: A car that can have 5 choices of colors, 2 choices of engine and 2 choices of gearbox, will have $ 5 \times 2 \times 2 = 20 $ distinct possibilities
Example: A 3-digit padlock with 10 choices for the first digit, 10 choices for the second digit and 10 choices for the last digit will have $ 10 \times 10 \times 10 = 1000 $ possible combinations.
