Question Number 124824 by ZiYangLee last updated on 06/Dec/20
How many positive four-digits integers  abcd satisfy the following conditions:  (i) abcd is divisible hy 7;  (ii) When the first and the last digits     are interchanged, the resulting number     dbca is still a positive four-digits number     that is divisible by 7.

abcd must be different digits?

well as the original question does not  mention it, i think abcd can be same  digits also (?

then  (i)  1001,1008,1015,...,9996  ⇒1+((9996−1001)/7)=1286 numbers
$${then} \\ $$$$\left({i}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{1001},\mathrm{1008},\mathrm{1015},…,\mathrm{9996} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{9996}−\mathrm{1001}}{\mathrm{7}}=\mathrm{1286}\:{numbers} \\ $$
