Im also getting 24.

Prime factors of 210 = 2,3,5,7

So the question is asking in how many ways can you arrange 2357, its 4! ways = 24.

I get 54

Primes are 3 * 2 * 5 * 7 : 4! =24

Now 3*2 = 6

so 6 * 5 * 7 * 1: 4! = 24

6 * 5 * 7 : 3! = 6

48 + 6

54

Ohh godd Ive just half solved it there was more to the solution damnn!!!

Its 54 I guess

24 (solution above) + 6 + 24

In 675 6*7*5 = 210

Number of ways to arrange 675 = 6

6751 = 24

1,2,3,5,7

well 0 can not be any of the digits.

2,3,5,7 = 4!
1,6,5,7 = 4!
657 = 3!

so, 4!+4!+3! = 54

How about the same logic for 490.
490's prime factors are 2,5,7 so is the answer 3! +2! ?

The primes of 210 are: 2*3*5*7

Now the primes 2*3 make up the single digit 6. Therefore, 6 * 5 * 7 * 1 (arranged 4! ways) and 6*5*7 (arranged 3! ways) also equal 210.

The primes of 490 are : 2 * 5 * 7^2

So it would be a little different for this question. We would need to have all 4 of those digits to make the product be 490.

So I believe it would be 4!/2! = 12.

I divided by 2! because the 7 is in the number 2 times.
