The first position has 9 options, the digits {1,2,...,9}.
The English alphabet has 26 letters thus the number of possibilities for three capital letters are:26*26*26.
The last three digits have: 10*10*10 possibilities.
9*26*26*26*10*10*10 = 158,184,000
There are 158,184,000 different California license plates are possible.
