    There are 17 possible choices for the first ball, 16 possible choices for the second and so on ... until 6 balls are chosen. Multiply the number of choices together.

    17*16*15*14*13*12 = 8,910,720

    This is also what's called a permutation, 17 choose 6

    In permutations order matters so (1,2,3) is not the same as (3,2,1).
