Read Solution (Total 5)
-
- no of prime no's below 500 is 95
excluding 2,3,5,7, it is 91
no's not divisible 2,3,4,5,7,21, are
11*(11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43) i.e 10
13*(13,17,19,23,29,31,37) i.e 7
17*(17,19,23,29) i.e 4
19*(19,23) i.e 2
initially 1 is also not divisible
total = 91+10+7+4+2+1= 115
answer 500-115 = 385 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(19) No(6)
- first we find the no.s which r not divisible by 2 r 3 r 4 r 5 r 7 r 21.
all these no.s will be prime no.s.
since within 100 there r 23 prime no.s which r not devisible by 22 r 3 r 4 r5 r 7 r21. same for 100-200. so total prime no. within 500 will be 115.
so no.s that r devisible by 2 r 3 r 4 r 5 r 7 r 21 will be 499-115=384. - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(15) No(19)
- @vikas singh : there are 97 prime numbers between 2-499.
so by excluding 2,3,5,7 there will be 93 numbers + 1 (i.e 1 is not divisible by any number). so total 92 numbers which will not divide by these numbers.
so 499-92 = 407. - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(10) No(5)

/////no need to find 4, 21

now
div by 2&3&5-16
div by2&3&7-111

and
div by 2&3&5&7- 2
So sol is 587-224+38-2=385
