What is the sum of all of the four-digit positive integers that can be written with the digits 1, 2, 3 and 4 if each digit must be used exactly once in each four-digit positive integer?

1324       

1342      

1423       

1432       

-------   

7998

 

2134

2143

2314

2341

2413    

2431

-------

13776

 

3124

3142

3214

3241

3412

3421

-------

19554

 

Notice........13776  - 7998  = 5778

And     19554 - 13776  = 5778

 

So.....we would speculate that the next sum  = 19554 + 5778  = 25332

 

4123

4132

4213

4231

4312

4321

-------

25332

 

So....... 7998 + 13776 + 19554 + 25332   = 66660

 

 

 

cool cool cool
