How many numbers of 5 digits can be formed with the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 & 8 with no digit being repeated in the same number?
Choose the most restrictive digit first.

A five digit number cannot begin with 0. 
So the first digit is the most restrictive.

Choose the first digit any of 6 ways {1,2,3,4,6,8}
That leaves 6 ways to choose the second digit, (since it can be 0.)
That leaves 5 ways to choose the third digit.
That leaves 4 ways to choose the fourth digit.
That leaves 3 ways to choose the fifth digit.

Answer:  6򉼱򉕗 = 2160
