To find the number of seven-digit numbers that are possible with exactly four 4s, you can use the stars and bars formula. This formula states that the number of ways to distribute n objects into k categories is:
(n+k-1) choose (k-1)
In this case, the number of objects is 7 (the number of digits in the number) and the number of categories is 2 (the 4s and the other digits). Therefore, the number of seven-digit numbers that are possible with exactly four 4s is:
(7+2-1) choose (2-1) = (8 choose 1) = 8
This means that there are 8 different seven-digit numbers that are possible with exactly four 4s.
