Digits must be from {5,6,7,8,9}. Divisibility by 2 forces the unit digit to be 6 or 8.

Residues mod 3: 5≡2, 6≡0, 7≡1, 8≡2, 9≡0. There are n0=2 digits ≡0, n1=1 digit ≡1, n2=2 digits ≡2.

- If unit = 6 (residue 0), the first two digits must sum to 0 mod 3. Ordered pairs count = n0^2 + 2·n1·n2 = 2^2 + 2·1·2 = 8.
- If unit = 8 (residue 2), the first two digits must sum to 1 mod 3. Ordered pairs count = 2·n0·n1 + n2^2 = 2·2·1 + 2^2 = 8.

Total = 8 + 8 = 16.
