    There are 96 different numbers with this property.

    The prime factorization of 336 is 2⁴*3*7. This means the different numbers used could be:

    2, 4, 6, 7 (as in the one listed);

    2, 3, 8, 7;

    3, 4, 4, 7;

    1, 6, 7, 8.

    For each one of these, there are 4! permutations (where order is important). 4!=24.

    4 different sets of numbers multiplied by 24 permutations = 96 choices.
