Box Match

The following numbers are made up of matchticks ("0" with 6 matchsticks,"1" with 3 etc...). Write a 4-digit number (without a leading 0) with the digits in the given matchstick forms, so that when this number is divided by the number of matchsticks it's formed of, the quotient is a whole number (0,1,2...) Maximise the quotient ?
