Subtract 3 from 7, because the exchange is always the same. That leaves 4 digits
\n" ); document.write( "the number of possible digits is 10 namely, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
\n" ); document.write( "Each of these 10 possible digits can combine with the second digit's 10 possibilities in 10 x 10 different ways. These 10 x 10 possibilities can
\n" ); document.write( "combine with the third digit in 10 x 10 x 10 different ways.
\n" ); document.write( "These 10 x 10 x 10 possibilities can
\n" ); document.write( "combine with the fourth digit in 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 different ways.
\n" ); document.write( "So the answer is \"10%5E4\"
\n" ); document.write( "
