How many different numbers of six digits each can be formed from the digits

Question:

How many different numbers of six digits each can be formed from the digits 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 when repetition of digits is not allowed?

Solution:

Number of ways of filling the first digit = 6

Number of ways of filling the second digit = 5          (as repetition is not allowed)

Number of ways of filling the third digit = 4

Number of ways of filling the fourth digit =3

Number of ways of filling the fifth digit = 2

Number of ways of filling the sixth digit = 1

Total numbers $=6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1=720$
