Choose the most restrictive digits first.
The first digit is most restrictive because it can only be 6.
The next most restrictive digit is the 4th one because an integer
must end with 0 or 5 to be divisible by 5.  The 2nd and 3rd digits
are the least restrictive, so choose them last.

Choose the 1st digit 1 way, as "6"
Choose the 4th digit 2 ways, as 0 or 5
That leaves 8 ways to choose the 2nd digit.
That leaves 7 ways to choose the 3rd digit.
