Since any number of hundreds is divisible by 4, in order for
an integer to be divible by 4, only the number formed by 
dropping all but the last two digits must be divisible by 4.

Therefore the only choices for the last two digits that can be made 
with the digits 0, 1, 3, 5, and 6 are these five: 00,16,36,56, and 60.

So,
we can choose the first digit 4 ways {1,3,5,6}
We can choose the second digit 5 ways {0,1,3,5,6}
We can choose the last two digits 5 ways {00,16,36,56,60}

Answer = 4*5*5 = 100
