Hi Judy,

Since there is a 6 followed by a 2 there are 3 possible patterns for your 4 digit strings.

62xy
x62y
xy62

where x and y are digits from 0, 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 with $x \neq y.$ For each of he 3 patterns you have 8 choices for $x,$ and once $x$ is chosen there are 7 possible choices for $y.$ Hence each of the 3 possible patterns gives $8 \times 7,$ 4 digit strings. Thus in total you have $3 \times 8 \times 7,$ 4 digit strings.

I hope this helps,
Penny
