1,111

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with 62,222. Change each 2 into a 3, obtaining 63,333.

The difference between 63,333 and 62,222 is 1,111 (answer)

Lea Hicks · Answer 2

444 (gets to 62,666)

Step-by-step explanation:

The closest you can think of first is 63,333. However, as long as there doesn't have to be the four numbers in a row, the "6" in the number can be one of the four same numbers.

This means that you need to get 3 other sixes in the number. There are many ways to do this, but the one requiring the least amount of driving is changing the last three digits (222). If you add 444 to the number, the amount of miles driven is 62,666, there being 4 sixes in the number. This is the least amount of driving needed before the odometer shows four of the five digits the same as each other.
