Then divide each of them by 7 and count the ones that have a remainder of 2. If you are using your calculator, you will get a decimal fraction when you divide by 7 (you are only dividing into primes, so none of them will come out even). If the decimal fraction begins .285714, then you know you have a remainder of 2. This isn't as onerous as it seems, since there are only 21 two-digit primes.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "John \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
