Empty box is allowed

So, number of ways of distributing \mathrm{'n'}distinct objects among \mathrm{'r'} identical places such that each one is filled with zero or more things is \mathrm{r^{n}}

Here, number of objects \mathrm{n=5}
number of students \mathrm{r=6}

Using the equation, we obtain:

\mathrm{r^{n}=6^{5}=7776}

Total number of ways: 7776
