Significant digits refer to the number of digits that are known versus the number of digits that are estimated. So if the number 20 is an approximation, there is only one significant digit, which is the 2. However, if 20 is accurate to the ones place, then there are 2 significant digits. 20.00 has four significant digits, because it is known that the number is accurate down to the hundredths place.
A single digit in a number can have a place value. A number with several digits cannot.

If the digits go from the thousands place to the ones place then we need to use 4 digits. Because the digits are all even, we are forced to use the 4 even digits (2, 4, 6 and 8). As they decrease by 2 each time, the only option for ordering them is greatest to lowest. Therefore, the number described in the question is 8,642.

2,4,6,8,and 0 are divisible by 2 in the ones digit. Zero is only divisible in a number with 2 digits or more. 0 itself is not divisible by 2.
