Sorry, but the answer cannot be 420.  It is either 18 or 750.
They are ALL listed below.

If "4 even digits number" means "4-digit numbers with only even digits",
the answer is 18:

Choose the first digit 3 ways, as 2,4, or 6  
(1st digit can't be chosen as 0.)
Choose the second digit 3 ways as any of the 3 remaining digits.
Choose the third digit either of the 2 remaining digits.
Choose the fourth digit as the only remaining even digit.

3*3*2*1 = 18

Here are the only 18 4-digit numbers with only even digits:

2046, 2064, 2406, 2460, 2604, 2640, 
4026, 4062, 4206, 4260, 4602, 4620, 
6024, 6042, 6204, 6240, 6402, 6420.

--------------------------------------------

If "4 even digits number" means "4-digit even numbers",
the answer is 720:

Case 1.  The number has last digit 0:

Choose the last (fourth) digit 1 way, (as 0).
Choose the first digit 7 ways, (as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7).
Choose the second digit any of the 6 remaining ways.
Choose the third digit any of the 5 remaining ways.

That's 1*7*6*5 = 210 ways

Case 2.  The number has last digit 2,4, or 6:

Choose the fourth (last) digit 3 ways, (as 2, 4, or 6).
Choose the first digit any of the 5 remaining ways 
 other than 0 (can't choose 0 for the first digit)
Choose the second digit any of the 5 remaining ways.
Choose the third digit any of the 4 remaining ways.

That's 3*6*6*5 = 540 ways.

Total for both cases = 210+540 = 750

Here are all 750 4-digit even numbers, 30 rows with 25 in each row:

and that the correct answer is 750.
