Algebra.Com's Answer #377988 by KMST(5328)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A GENERAL APPROACH TO THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM: \n" ); document.write( "Numbers divisible by 4 (also called multiples of 4) can be written as \n" ); document.write( "The first one is \n" ); document.write( "Multiple number 49 is \n" ); document.write( "Counting all between multiple number 50, \n" ); document.write( "multiple number 75, \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Numbers divisible by 10 (also called multiples of 10) can be written as \n" ); document.write( "The first one is \n" ); document.write( "Multiple number 19 is \n" ); document.write( "Counting all between multiple number 20, \n" ); document.write( "multiple number 30, \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Numbers that are divisible by 4 and by 10, are also divisible by their least common multiple, 20, and we should be careful not to count them twice. \n" ); document.write( "Since there are only a few between 197 and 300, I'll just count them. It's just 200, 220, 240, 260, 280, and 300, just 6 of them.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The numbers between 197 and 303 that are divisible by 4 or by 10 are the 26 that are divisible by 4, plus the 11 divisible by 10, minus the 6 that are divisible by both, so it is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "ALTERNATE APPROACH (for when there are not too many numbers to count): \n" ); document.write( "In this case, we could also had carefully listed and counted the numbers. \n" ); document.write( "200, 204, 208, 210, 212, \n" ); document.write( "216, 220, 224, 228, 230, \n" ); document.write( "232, 236, 240, 244, 248, \n" ); document.write( "250, 252, 256, 260, 264, \n" ); document.write( "268, 270, 272, 276, 280, \n" ); document.write( "284, 288, 290, 292, 296, and \n" ); document.write( "300. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
