- The following problem is from both the 2020 AMC 12A #4 and 2020 AMC 10A #6, so both problems redirect to this page.
Problem
How many 
-digit positive integers (that is, integers between 
and 
, inclusive) having only even digits are divisible by 
Solution
The units digit, for all numbers divisible by 5, must be either 
or 
. However, since all digits are even, the units digit must be . The middle two digits can be 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8, but the thousands digit can only be 2, 4, 6, or 8 since it cannot be zero. There is one choice for the units digit, 5 choices for each of the middle 2 digits, and 4 choices for the thousands digit, so there is a total of 
numbers.
