Suppose 
is the number of possible combinations for a suitcase with a lock consisting of 
wheels. If you added one more wheel onto the lock, there would only be 9 allowed possible digits you can use for the new wheel. This means the number of possible combinations for 
wheels, or 
is given recursively by the formula
starting with
(because you can start the combination with any one of the ten available digits 0 through 9).
For example, if the combination for a 3-wheel lock is 282, then a 4-wheel lock can be any one of 2820, 2821, 2823, ..., 2829 (nine possibilities depending on the second-to-last digit).
By substitution, you have
This means a lock with 55 wheels will have
possible combinations (a number with 53 digits).
