1. **Problem Statement:** Find the number of distinct arrangements of the letters in the word ABRACADABRA.
2. **Understanding the problem:** The word ABRACADABRA has 11 letters with some letters repeating. To find the number of distinct arrangements, we use the formula for permutations of multiset:
$$\text{Number of arrangements} = \frac{n!}{n_1! \times n_2! \times \cdots \times n_k!}$$
where $n$ is the total number of letters, and $n_1, n_2, ..., n_k$ are the frequencies of each distinct letter.
3. **Count the letters:**
- A appears 5 times
- B appears 2 times
- R appears 2 times
- C appears 1 time
- D appears 1 time
4. **Apply the formula:**
$$n = 11$$
$$n_A = 5, n_B = 2, n_R = 2, n_C = 1, n_D = 1$$
$$\text{Number of arrangements} = \frac{11!}{5! \times 2! \times 2! \times 1! \times 1!}$$
5. **Calculate factorials:**
- $11! = 39916800$
- $5! = 120$
- $2! = 2$
6. **Simplify denominator:**
$$5! \times 2! \times 2! = 120 \times 2 \times 2 = 480$$
7. **Final calculation:**
$$\frac{39916800}{480} = 83160$$
**Answer:** There are **83160** distinct arrangements of the letters in ABRACADABRA.
