      It’s not possible because that’s 16 digits.

            Everything is in base 10 (unless it’s in unary).

    There are no decimals in the serial number, therefore there are also no repeating decimals

      Every whole number has infinite repeating decimals of zero, kinda.

    I heard somewhere recently that the length of a USD One Dollar bill is the average human penis length

      US bills are 6.14 inches (156 mm) wide, which is significantly larger than the average US penis size (5.16 inches).

      https://www.science.org/content/article/how-big-average-penis

      A 6.3 inch erect penis is larger than 95% of men.

        Well okay, but the average width is still 2.61 inches, surely

      If I remember high school math correctly, The first digit can be anything so, 10/10 options, the second digit cant be be the first so only 9/10 options, then 8/10 for the third, continue this pattern for each digit and multiply together you get 1.8% chance.

        10 x 9 x 8… etc. yields 1,814,400 possible combinations of no repeats, right? I’m confused what the “whole” is if this is expressed as a percent.

    I think you mean “numerals” (or just “numbers”). 😅😬
