You can put this solution on YOUR website! to issue at least 1 million license plates, find the number of digits you will have to combine with two letters.
----
# of digits is 10
# of letters is 26
---
# of plates = 26^2*10^x
----------------------------
Solve 26^2*10^x >= 10^6
----
10^x >= 10^6/26^2
10^x >= 1479.29
x >= log1479.29
----
x >= 3.17
-----
Rounding up you get x = 4
