18 = 2*3*3 So to avoid getting a product divisible by 18, she could either avoid multiples of 2 or 3. There are fewer multiples of 3, so she would write down more numbers by avoiding the multiples of 3. The multiples of 3 not exceeding 100 are 3,6,9,...,99. To see how many they are, divide those all by 3 1,2,3,...,33. So, there are 33 multiples of 3. To exclude them, 100-33 = 67. However she can also write ONE multiple of 3 (that isn't a multiple of 9), without getting a multiple of 18, so that's one more she could write, making her list contain 68 numbers. Answer: 68. She might as well include 3 as her ONE multiple of 3 (that isn't a multiple of 9), so her list could go: 1*2*3*4*5*7*8*10*11*13*...95*97*98*100. Edwin
