To find the number of 5-digit numbers that can be formed using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 without repetition, we can use the concept of permutations.
Since no digit can be repeated, for the first digit, we have 5 options (1, 2, 3, 4, or 5). After choosing the first digit, we have 4 options left for the second digit. Similarly, we have 3 options for the third digit, 2 options for the fourth digit, and 1 option for the fifth digit.
Therefore, the total number of 5-digit numbers that can be formed without repetition is calculated as: 5 !=120

Hence, there are 120 different 5-digit numbers that can be formed using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, without repeating any digit.
