There are 8.0658*10^67 orders you can shuffle a card deck in.
The math is easy. It's just 52! if your calculator has that function which is really 525150...32*1. There are 52 possibilities for the first card 51 for the second since you've already used one card and so on.

52*51*50*....*3*2*1i.e. 52 × 51 × 50 × ... × 3 × 2 × 1
