You don't even remotely know how to spell remotely -- you are in big trouble.
Since 0 and 9 are excluded from the first digit, there are 8 choices left. For each of those 8 choices we can choose any digit we like for the second digit, so we have 10 choices. 8 times 10 is 80 possibilities for the first two digits. For each of those 80 possibilities, we have 10 choices for the third digit: 800 choices. And so on...
gets you the number of choices for the first 6 digits.
Finally, you come to the last digit. Greater than or equal to 4 and less than or equal to 5. The last digit can either be 4 or 5, which is to say two choices.
Final tally:
You get to do your own arithmetic.
