Solution Summary

In this solution we count positive in integers between 1000 and 9999 based on a number of factors.

Solution Preview

First, we need to know that there are 9999-1000+1=9000 integers in our question.

a) Since 9, 18,... are divisible by 9, we can see that exactly every 9th one is divisible by 9, there are 9000/9=1000 integers which are divisible by 9.

b) Since there are half even and half odd integers between 1000 and 9999 inclusive, there are 9000/2=4500 integers which are even.

c) Since we have 9 choices for first digit (from 1 to 9), 10-1=9 choices for second (from 0 to 9 but exclude first digit), 10-2 choices for third (from 0 to 9 ...
