There are 6 ways to choose the first digit. For each of those 6 ways to chose the first digit, There are 6 ways to choose the second digit. That's 6∙6=62=36 ways to choose the first two digits. For each of those 6∙6=36 ways to chose the first two digits, There are 6 ways to choose the third digit. That's 6∙6∙6 = 63 = 216 ways to choose the first three digits. For each of those 6∙6∙6 = 63 = 216 ways to chose the first three digits, There are 6 ways to choose the fourth digit. That's 6∙6∙6∙6 = 64 = 1296 ways to choose the first four digits. For each of those 6∙6∙6∙6=64 = 1296 ways to chose the first four digits, There are 6 ways to choose the fifth digit That's 6∙6∙6∙6∙6 = 65 = 7776 ways to choose the first five digits. And since that's all the digits, the answer is 6∙6∙6∙6∙6 = 65 = 7776. Edwin
