There are $\"83\"$ numbers exactly divisible by 6 from 6 to 498.
\n" ); document.write( "There are $\"55\"$ numbers exactly divisible by 9 from 9 to 495.
\n" ); document.write( "There are $\"27\"$ numbers that are exactly divisible by 6 and 9 from 18 to 486, we don't want to double count those.
\n" ); document.write( "There are 500 numbers total.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=83%2F500%2B55%2F500-27%2F500\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=111%2F500\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
