i am 900 more than the greatest possible 4 digit even number that can be mad using the digits 1,4,2,5. what number am I?
The greatest possible 4 digit number has to start with a 5, then a 4, then a 2, ....5421
check my thinking.
even number so last digit would be 2
5412+900= 6312
:)
To find the greatest possible 4-digit even number using the digits 1, 4, 2, and 5, we need to arrange these digits in descending order. Therefore, the largest 4-digit even number that can be formed is 5421.
Now, you mentioned that you are 900 more than this number. To find your number, we can add 900 to 5421:
5421 + 900 = 6321
So, the number you are referring to is 6321.
