What are all the possible arrangements of the word "EXAMINATION"? (probability)

....n! /(r1!......
do you use permutations here? or combinations? how is it done? just using those letters, obviously, most won't be words

-
the word has 11 letters of which 2 are A's, 2 are I's & 2 are N's

the simple formula for permutations of n objects when r1,r2, ..... are identical is

n! /(r1!*r2!*....) , so

# of arrangements = 11!/(2!*2!*2!) = 4,989,600 <-------
