Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve this question, we need to count how many integers greater than 2000 can be formed using the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, with each digit being used at most once.
Step-by-Step Solution
-
Identify Possible Integer Lengths:
- For an integer to be greater than 2000, it needs to be at least 4 digits long since the available digits only go up to 5.
- So, we only need to consider 4-digit and 5-digit integers.
-
Determine the Range for 4-Digit Numbers (Starting with 2, 3, 4, or 5):
- The leading (thousands) digit must be one of 2, 3, 4, or 5 to ensure the number is greater than 2000.
Case 1: 4-Digit Numbers
- Thousands Place: Choose from {2, 3, 4, 5} (4 choices).
- Remaining 3 Digits: Select from the remaining 5 digits (since one digit has been used in the thousands place).
- Permutations for Remaining Digits: Arrange the remaining 3 digits in 3! (6) ways.
So, the total number of 4-digit numbers is:
Case 2: 5-Digit Numbers
- First Digit (Tens of Thousands Place): Choose from {2, 3, 4, 5} (4 choices), as before.
- Remaining 4 Digits: Choose 4 more digits from the 5 remaining ones.
- Permutations for Remaining Digits: Arrange the remaining 4 digits in 4! (24) ways.
So, the total number of 5-digit numbers is:
Final Calculation
Adding both cases together:
Answer
The total number of integers greater than 2000 that can be formed is:
