What is the first step in creating a combination of specific digits?

  1. List possible values of the digits

  2. Identify which digits need to be included

  3. Determine possible sums of the digits

  4. Chart different numerical outcomes

The correct answer is: Identify which digits need to be included

The first step in creating a combination of specific digits is to identify which digits need to be included. This step is crucial because it establishes the foundational elements that will be used to form the combinations. By determining the specific digits beforehand, you ensure that all subsequent work is focused and relevant. Once you have identified the necessary digits, you can then proceed with arranging these digits or exploring their combinations, potential sums, or charting outcomes. Without knowing which digits are needed, any further steps would lack direction and clarity. This initial identification forms the basis for all subsequent calculations or formations related to the combination of digits.
