You had "greater than 3000", but all 5-digit numbers are greater than 3000, so I changed it to 30000. Choose the last (5th) digit even as 4 or 8. That's 2 ways. Choose the first digit odd as 3 or 5 (not 1, since it has to be greater than 30000). That's 2 ways. Choose the second digit as any of the 3 that are left. That's 3 ways Choose the third digit as either of the 2 that are left. That's 2 ways. Choose the fourth digit as the only one that is left. That's 1 way. Answer 2 = 24 Here they all are: 1. 31458 2. 31548 3. 31584 4. 31854 5. 34158 6. 34518 7. 35148 8. 35184 9. 35418 10. 35814 11. 38154 12. 38514 13. 51348 14. 51384 15. 51438 16. 51834 17. 53148 18. 53184 19. 53418 20. 53814 21. 54138 22. 54318 23. 58134 24. 58314 Edwin
