I noticed that it used all the numbers 0-9. When the numbers are spelled out in word form, they all seem to be in alphabetical order.
Hmm, it's divisble by all the numbers 0-9 except 7.

Ok, i have played with a few possibilities. But I think that this is the only number that contains numerals 0-9 nonrepeating that is divisible by one of those numerals and still contain numberals 0-9 nonrepeating. Those numbers are 1 and 5..

The numbers, when spelled out as words, are in alphabetical order. This is the only number including all ten digits for which this can happen.

the answer is 8 it is the only one that has one kind of number when you factor it all out it only has 2's as 2x2x2and 549 is 3x3x61, 176 is 2x2x2x2x11 and 320 is 2x2x2x2x2x2x5
or it can be that 549 does not have a 2 in it but its the same as its the only one that is even.
