  2. The thousands digit is precisely 5 less than one-sixth of the number formed by the concatenation of its hundreds and tens digit (from left to right).
  3. The hundreds digit is precisely 1.8 more than 1/40 of the number formed by the concatenation of its tens and units digits (from left to right).
  4. Its tens digit is precisely 2 less than 5/4 times the units digit.

Clue 4:  Last two digits are either 34 or 88
Clue 3:  Hundreds digit is 88/40 + 1.8 = 4, because 34/40 + 1.8 is not integral
Clue 2:  Thousands digit 48/6 - 5 = 3

Full number is 3488
