Write the alphabetical order of the letters of the given word ’ MASTER ’ as A,E,M,R,S,T

Then count the no.of letters before M, and it is equal to 2,which is the coefficient of 5!.

Again strike off the first letter A.

A,E,M,R,S,T

Then count the no.of letters before A and it is equal to 0 which is coefficient of 4!

Again strike off the first letter S.

A,E,M,R,S,T

Then count the no.of letters before S and it is equal to 2 which is coeffcient of 3!

Again strike off the first letter T.

A,E,M,R, S, T

    How do we apply this shortcut if the word contains duplicate alphabets, for example "MISSISSIPPI"?
