1. **State the problem:** We want to find how many 5-letter arrangements can be made from the 26 letters of the English alphabet with no repeated letters.
2. **Formula used:** The number of permutations of $k$ objects chosen from $n$ distinct objects without repetition is given by:
$$P(n,k) = \frac{n!}{(n-k)!}$$
3. **Apply the formula:** Here, $n=26$ (letters in the alphabet) and $k=5$ (letters chosen).
$$P(26,5) = \frac{26!}{(26-5)!} = \frac{26!}{21!}$$
4. **Simplify the factorial expression:**
$$\frac{26!}{21!} = 26 \times 25 \times 24 \times 23 \times 22$$
5. **Calculate the product:**
$$26 \times 25 = 650$$
$$650 \times 24 = 15600$$
$$15600 \times 23 = 358800$$
$$358800 \times 22 = 7893600$$
6. **Final answer:**
There are **7,893,600** different 5-letter arrangements possible with no repeated letters from the English alphabet.
