The Circus is in Town!!!



3. How many 4 digit numbers can be made from the digits 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7 if a prime number must be the first digit and 4 must be the last digit and no digit can be repeated?


Unfortunately the circus invaded my work space. my apologies.


(actually I think the answer is 18, any readers care to check that for me?)

First digit must be 2, 5, or 7. Last must be 4. So we have (3) * 3P3 = 3 * 6 = 18. Yep.
