Problem

How many even integers between 4000 and 7000 have four different digits?

Solution

The thousands digit is . If the thousands digit is even (, 2 possibilities), then there are only possibilities for the units digit. This leaves possible digits for the hundreds and for the tens places, yielding a total of 2 \cdot 4 \cdot 8 \cdot 7 = 448.

If the thousands digit is odd (, one possibility), then there is choices for the units digit, with digits for the hundreds and for the tens place. This gives 1 \cdot 5 \cdot 8 \cdot 7 = 280 possibilities. Together, the solution is .
