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, giving 5 choices for each. The first (thousands) digit can be 2, 4, 6, or 8, giving 4 choices. Therefore, using the multiplication rule, we get 
possible 4-digit integers.
