How many 4 number combinations are possible?
There are 10,000 possible combinations that the digits 0-9 can be arranged into to form a four-digit code.
If we are looking at the number of numbers we can create using the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4, we can calculate that the following way: for each digit (thousands, hundreds, tens, ones), we have 4 choices of numbers. And so we can create 4×4×4×4=44=256 numbers.
A specific "4 digit number" would have 1/9000 chance, since there are 9000 4 digit numbers (1000-9999).
One way to determine how many combinations that are possible with 4 numbers is to list them all, and then count the number of items in the list. These are all of the possible combinations of 4 numbers, and there are 15 combinations in this list, so the number of combinations possible with 4 numbers is 15.
Research suggests thieves can guess one in five PINs by trying just three combinations. How easy would it be for a thief to guess your four-digit PIN?
By the way, the most common four-digit PINs according to the study are: 1234, 0000, 2580, 1111 and 5555 (scroll down for a longer list) – 2580 is there because it is a vertical column on a numeric keypad.

There are a possible 10,000 4-number pin combinations that can be made from 0-9.
- 1234.
- 1111.
- 0000.
- 1212.
- 7777.
- 1004.
- 2000.

The number of possible combinations with 4 numbers without repetition is 15. The formula we use to calculate the number of n element combinations when repetition is not allowed is 2n - 1.
How many different combinations can you make with the numbers 1234? So there are {1,2,3,4} these 4 numbers. So there are 64 total ways.
You multiply these choices together to get your result: 4 x 3 x 2 (x 1) = 24. Combinations and permutations are often confused by students - they are related, but they mean different things and can lead to totally different interpretations of situations and questions.
What are the possible permutations of 1234?
The answer is: There are 24 permutations.
The number of combinations possible with 24 numbers is 16,777,215.
