You can find a construction rule for any number. There are no unambiguous answers. Example:

I gave you an example how to produce the number ##87## by a construction rule that only used the three numbers ##\{1,2,3\}.## Isn't that absurd? You can create a lot of numbers from three given ones.

There is either an explanation about that specific arrangement with four numbers that you haven't told us or it is a worthless and meaningless exercise. You could write down any number in the empty fields and construct a rule afterward.

It has to be the same one rule for the three examples on top, I guess. Then the same rule should be applied in the other twelve.

Before we keep guessing, and with respect to the fact that the OP didn't try to help himself or us, I will close this thread.
