The positive five-digit integers that use each of the digits 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 exactly once are ordered from least to greatest. What is the 50th integer in the list?

Yes there is a quicker way.

How many begin with 1?   that would be 4!=24

The next 24 would begin with 2

So the first 48 begin with either 1or 2

 

The 49th one will be     31245

and he 50th one will be  31254
