We know that 4 4 numbers are taken at a time. Hence there are 4 4 places. The first place is always 1 1 , therefore the first place can be filled up in 1 1 way The next place can be filled with any of the numbers except 1 1 , therefore, the second place can be filled up in 6 6 ways. The next place can be filled up in 5 5 ways because repetition is not allowed. Similarly, the last place can be filled up in 4 4 ways.

Now by the Fundamental Principle of Counting (By Multiplication), the number of possible numbers are 1 × 6 × 5 × 4 = 120 1 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 = \boxed{120}
