Math Problem Statement
generate the list of 6 digit numbers containing the numbers 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 with 3 as the first digit and 2 as the fourth digit without repeating the same number
Solution
To generate a list of 6-digit numbers that contain the digits 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, with the digit 3 as the first digit and the digit 2 as the fourth digit, and without repeating any digit, we proceed as follows:
Step-by-step process:
- Digits pool: The available digits are 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9.
- Conditions:
- The first digit must be 3.
- The fourth digit must be 2.
- No digit is repeated in the number.
Format of the number: 3 _ _ 2 _
So, the number has the following structure:
- First digit: 3 (fixed)
- Fourth digit: 2 (fixed)
- The remaining digits (positions 2, 3, 5, and 6) must be chosen from the set {4, 6, 7, 8, 9}, without repetition.
Choices for the other positions:
- Second digit: Choose from {4, 6, 7, 8, 9} (5 possibilities).
- Third digit: Choose from the remaining 4 digits after selecting the second digit.
- Fifth digit: Choose from the remaining 3 digits after selecting the second and third digits.
- Sixth digit: Choose from the remaining 2 digits after selecting the second, third, and fifth digits.
List Generation:
Let me generate this list:
- 346278
- 346279
- 346287
- 346289
- 346297
- 346298
- 347268
- 347269
- 347286
- 347289
- 347296
- 347298
- 348267
- 348269
- 348276
- 348279
- 348296
- 348297
- 349267
- 349268
- 349276
- 349278
- 349286
- 349287
- 364278
- 364279
- 364287
- 364289
- 364297
- 364298
- 367248
- 367249
- 367284
- 367289
- 367294
- 367298
- 368247
- 368249
- 368274
- 368279
- 368294
- 368297
- 369247
- 369248
- 369274
- 369278
- 369284
- 369287
These are all the possible 6-digit numbers meeting the criteria.
Would you like further details or have any questions?
Here are 5 questions related to this:
- How would the list change if we added another condition, such as a fixed second digit?
- How many possible numbers would exist if repetitions were allowed?
- What if we limited the available digits to only 6 instead of 7?
- How would the problem change if the fourth digit were not fixed to 2?
- How can you generalize this process for larger sets of digits?
Tip: When generating combinations with fixed digits, it's helpful to systematically reduce the available pool for each remaining position to avoid repetition errors.
