The first digit is the most restrictive, so we
choose it first.

We can choose the first digit any of 3 ways, 5, 6, or 7
We can choose the second digit any of the remaining 6 ways.
We can choose the third digit any of the remaining 5 ways.
We can choose the fourth digit any of the remaining 4 ways.

Number of ways = 3*6*5*4 = 360 ways.
