how many numbers between 100 and 300 are divisible by 13 ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

First such a number is  104.     <<<---=== To find it, first divide  100%2F13 = 7.69;  then multiply  13*8 = 104.


Last such a number is  299.      <<<---=== To find it, first divide  300%2F13 = 23.08;  then multiply  13*23 = 299.



Between 104 and 299, there are  %28299-104%29%2F13 = 15 intervals of the equal length of 13 units in the number line.


Hence, the number under the question is  15+1 = 16.


Answer.  16 numbers.
