ironically i was looking for a good computer program to write, but before i wrote it i figured out the answer in my head... okay look,, the least possible difference is always going to be 14. period.. but here's why :) the possible number combinations are as follows: 24 42 62 82

26 46 64 84

28 48 68 86 you don't need to do write them down or figure them out in order to figure out the least possible combo... all you have to do is re-read what the question is asking....

"http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Find_the_least_possible_difference_of_two_2-digit_numbers_that_use_the_digits_2_4_6_and_8_only_once_in_each_number" you don't need to do anything except find the two numbers whos values are closest together and when subtracted produce the least ammount; which in your case, would be the median numbers. the combos above should help you see this, but the combination of 62 and 48 use all the digits and produce the lowest number. 62-48=14 any other combos of numbers produce higher results make sure that you do not use the same number twice or else you will not come up with the right answer. fun question!!

How many different 3-digit numbers less than 500 can be made using the digits 345 and 6 if the digits can be only used only once?

There are 2 possible digits for the first digit (3 or 4), leaving 3 possible digits for the second digit (5 and 6 and whichever was not chosen for the first), leaving 2 possible digits for the third. Thus there are 2 × 3 × 2 = 12 possible 3 digit numbers.
