Can anyone please help me with this question.

How many different four digit numbers are there if no digit is repeated?
Answer options are:
a) 4
b) 24
c) 504
d) 4536
 
Each leading digits 1 to 9 (0 can't be a leading digit, I assume) produces 9! / 6! 4digit numbers.

If that's not enough, then you need help from your teacher.
