~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Any of 7 digits in the first (very left)  position (all except 0);
Any of 4 even digits in the fourth, very last position;
Any of remaining 8-2 = 6 digits in the second position from the left;
Any of remaining 5 digits in the third position from the left.

7*4*6*5 = 840 numbers.
