Can you help with a maths question please?

I think this should be quite easy but it is confusing me.

If from 100 numbers 1-100 you could pick 14, how many possible combinations is there? Repeat numbers are allowed.

when you say repeat numbers are allowed, are you considering that the choice (1, 1, 2, 2) is the same as or different to the choice (2, 2, 1, 1). Numbers have been repeated but they make the same set of numbers, just in a different order. If you consider those different choices then it is 100^14 as everyone else said. If you consider those two choices to be the same then it will be a lot more difficult to work out (and not something i feel like doing at 2am )

Yeah they are different choices.

Thanks for the help everyone. Insane number and learned a new word in octillion!
