Read Solution (Total 21)
-
- no. divisible by 2 are 151(including 100 &400)
no. divisible by 5 but not by 2 are 30
no. divisible by 3 but not by 2 and 5 are 41
no. divisible by 7 but by 2 ,5 and 7 are 11
therefore, total no. are 233

- The difference between 100 and 400 is 300.
So,there will be 151 no. which will be divisible by 2(If you divide 300 by 2 you will get 150 and if you consider 400 then total 151.).
So,there will be 101 no. which will be divisible by 3.
So,there will be 61 no. which will be divisible by 5.
So,there will be 42 no. which will be divisible by 7.
and therefore total 355 no which will be divisible by either 2 or 3 or 5 or 7. - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(10) No(14)

no. divisible by 7 but by 2 ,3,5 are 11
therefore, total no. are 232 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(10) No(0)
- I have a simpler way. Let's find the number of numbers not divisible by 2,3,5,7.
First, there are 150 numbers divisible by 2. Take them away. Of the remaining, every third one is divisible by 3. Take them out and there are 100 left. Every 5th is divisible by 5. 100/5 is 20 so when taken out there are 80 left. Every 7th is divisible by 7, so there remain 6/7 of these: 80*6/7=68.57. Round down to 68.
So we have 300-68=232 that are divisible by 2,3,5,7. - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(9) No(0)
- solving this ques by ap series
ap series of no divisible by 2 102,104,106.....398 (as the ques is number in between 100 t0 400)
by applying the nth term fornula
t(n)=a+(n-1)d where a=102, d=2 ,t(n)=398
398=102+(n-1)2
398=102+2n-2
298=2n
n=149
and this can be done for other numbers as well... and btw it has asked about no of numbers not sum of numbers. - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(2)

- the lcm of 2,3,5,7 is 210 so only one is answer

- no divisible by 2 are 102,104,106.....398 (as the ques is number in between 100 t0 400)
by applying the nth term formula of AP
t(n)=a+(n-1)d where a=102, d=2 ,t(n)=398
398=102+(n-1)2
398=102+2n-2
298=2n
n=149
no divisible by 3 are 102,105,108,....................,399
by applying the nth term formula of AP a=102 , d=3 ,t(n)=399
399=102+(n-1)3
we get n=100
no. which are divisible by 2 and 3 both are = 102,108,114......................,396
so these are=50 and these 50 no. are included in no. divisible by 2
which are subtracted from 100
so 100-50= 50
and so on we can do in such a way

- LCM of 2,3,5,7=210.
So 210k is divisible by 2,3,5,7.
So only one no is there.....

- Let S(n)= number of divisors of n between 100 and 400 (both included)
S(n)=(300/n) +1 if 300 is divisible by n
S(n)=floor(300/n) if 300 is not divisible by n
Using Inclusion-Exclusion Principle:
S(2|3|5|7)=S(2)+S(3)+S(5)+S(7)
-S(2&3)-S(2&5)-S(2&7)
-S(3&5)-S(3&7)
-S(5&7)
-S(2&3&5)-S(2&3&7)-S(3&5&7)
-S(2&3&5&7)

- So here is a simple solution to this question...firstly write down the numbers from 105 that are divisible by 7...105,112,119.....391
Calculate the number of numbers only divisible by 7 and not by 2,3 and 5.
119,133,161,203,217,259,287,301,329,343,371,391. 12 number
Next calculate the numbers divisible by 2 using formula ((last number - first number)/2) +1= (400-100)/2 + 1 = 151
Similarly Calculate the numbers divisible by 3 = 50
Now from 105 write down all the numbers with gap of 10. 105,115,125,135,.....395.
Calculate the numbers divisible by only 5 and not by 3
Once you start calculating you will encounter a pattern. 105(divisible by 3) 115 & 125(only divisibly by 5 and not by 3) 135(divisible by 3) we need to count the numbers divisible by only 5 i.e the middle two numbers.
115,125,145,155,175,185,205,215,235,245,265,275,295,305,325,335,355,365,375,385.
Count comes to 20.
Now add all of them
151+50+20+12 = 233.

- nly one.
All the numbers 2,3,5,7 are prime numbers.
In order to get the number which is divisible by all those primes ,it must be a multiple of 2*3*5*7= 210
So it must be a multiple of 210.
So there is only one number 210 between 100 and 400 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- This can be solve using Inclusion and Exclusion principle:
In its simplest form it states that if you have two finite sets,
S1,S2,S1,S2, then their sizes are related by
∣S1∪S2∣=∣S1∣+∣S2∣−∣S1∩S2∣
∣S1∪S2∣=∣S1∣+∣S2∣−∣S1∩S2∣
This is clear once one recognizes that the terms ∣S1∣+∣S2∣∣S1∣+∣S2∣ on the right count the elements in the intersection twice, so we correct the count by subtracting the elements in the intersection to get the total number of elements in either of S1S1 or S2.S2.
This holds for more than two sets. In particular, for four sets we'll have
∣S1∪S2∪S3∪S4∣=∣S1∣+∣S2∣+∣S3∣+∣S4∣
−∣S1∩S2∣−∣S1∩S3∣−⋯−∣S3∩S4∣+∣S1∩S2∩S3∣+⋯+∣S2∩S3∩S4∣−∣S1∩S2∩S3∩S4∣ - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
