Step 1
Since the digits are ten, and the letters are twenty-six, we have thirty-six possible character in total.
Step 2
You can repeat characters, so every place is independent on the content of the others. This means that you have 36 choices for the character in the first place, 36 for the second, and so on. This means 36 36 36 36 36 in total, which is 36 5 .
