Default Permutations

Can any one give me the formula for doing permutations
ie. odds against picking 6 numbers, not in numerical order, from 45 numbers.
Excel's PERMUT function for =Permut(45.6) returns odds of 5,864,443,200
This seems too excessive, it's more like the odds of picking the 6 numbers
in numerical order.
