Answer:

We are talking about a 4-digit number.

Let’s just give a letter to each one of the 4 digits of that number: a, b, c and d.

So now the number looks like:

abcd

where each letter a, b, c and d takes the value of a 1-digit integer (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0).

Technically a cannot be 0, because then it becomes a 3-digit number.

For a number to be divisible by 4, the number formed by the last 2 digits of that number must be divisible by 4.

This is part of a larger set of rules:

for a number to be divisible by 2, the last digit must be divisible by 2; it must be an even number …

for a number to be divisible by 4, the last 2 digits must be divisible by 4

for a number to be divisible by 8, the last 3 digits must be divisible by 8

do you see the logic ?

Back to our problem:

This means that cd must be divisible by 4.

In the first 100 number, there are 25 divisible by 4:

04, 08, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88, 92, 96, 00

And we are told that the number 4 cannot be present in this number,

therefore we take away any number containing a 4.

What is left:

08, 12, 16, 20, 28, 32, 36, 52, 56, 60, 68, 72, 76, 80, 88, 92, 96, 00

That is a total of 18 numbers.

So, for the last 2 digits there are only 18 combinations possible.

We can write this as follows:

P(cd) = 18

[The number of possibilities for cd is 18]

For the second digit, b, the only requirement is that it is not equal to 4.

Therefore there are 9 possibilities for b.

P(b) = 9

And for the 1st digit, a, it cannot be equal to 0 or 4.

Therefore there are 8 possibilities for a.

P(a) = 8

Finally the total number

Finally the total number, N, of combinations is:

N = P(a) x P(b) x P(cd)

Then:

N = 8 * 9 * 18

N = 1296

So, your answer is 1296

All the best!
