Question 918490: if repetation is not permited then the six digit us 1,2,3,4,5,7
then how many ways are less than 4000?

If repetition is not allowed, using the six digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7,
we can make sequences of 4 digits.
Each of the six digits used has equal chance of being the first digit,
and since of those digits are less than 4,
half of the 4-digit numbers formed will be less than 4000.
That makes 4-digit numbers that are less than 4000.

If the number of digits does not matter, using the six digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7,
you can make 1-digit numbers,
2-digit numbers, and
3-digit numbers,
for a total of
numbers that are less than 4000.
