The main difference between permutation and combination is that :
In permutation the order matters, for example phone numbers: 123456 and 236541 though have the same digits are different phone numbers and thus phone no. is a permutation.
In combination the order doesn't matter. For example suppose we have 6 people numbered from 1 to 6 out of which we have to select 2 people to form a committee. Then 34 and 43 represent the same committee as the ordering doesn't matter.
