To enter her secret lab, SuperMathHeroine must punch in a 7-digit code, where each digit can be from 0 to 9. Unfortunately, SuperMathHeroine has forgotten her code. She only remembers that the product of the digits in her code is 10,000. How many different codes could there be?

Well, none of the digits can be 0 because the product is than going to be 0. You can't have more than 2 1's either.

 

To get started, we turn to the factorization of 10,000. It factors out as 2^4 * 5^4. This means that the only possible combinations of numbers are:

1,2,8,5,5,5,5 -> 105 ways to arrange this

2,2,4,5,5,5,5 -> 105 ways to arrange this

1,4,4,5,5,5,5 -> 105 ways to arrange this

1,1,8,5,5,5,5 -> 105 wasy to arrange this

 

So the number of different possible codes is 105+105+105+105 = 420 possible codes.

Some of your permutations are wrong:

 

1,2,8,5,5,5,5 -> 105 ways to arrange this >>This one is 7!/4! =210 ways

 

1,1,8,5,5,5,5 -> 105 wasy to arrange this>> Here the permutations are correct but the product is =5,000.
