The international alphabet contains \(26\) letters. The letters of this alphabet and the digits from \(0\) to \(9\) are used to form a code of the length \(4\) (a code contains \(4\) characters). The characters may repeat through the code and the code is not case sensitive (uppercase letters are equivalent to lowercase letters). How many codes can be obtained?
\(36^{4}=1\:679\:616\)
\(10\cdot 26^{4}=4\:569\:760\)
\(\frac{36!} {32!\, 4!}=58\:905\)
\(\frac{26!} {22!\, 4!}=14\:950\)

There are five rooms with three beds and one room with five beds in a hotel. A group of \(20\) people booked rooms at this hotel. Determine the number of possible choices for the people to the five-bed room.
\(\frac{20!} {5!\, 15!}=15\:504\)
\(20\cdot 3\cdot 5=300\)
\(\frac{20!} {3!\, 5!}=3\:379\:030\:566\:912\:000\)
\(20^{5}=3\:200\:000\)
