Question 176316: 2.) A student wants to know how many integers between 1 and 1000 are a multiple of 3 or a multiple of 5. She wonders if it is correct to find the number of those integers that are multiples of 3 and add the number of those that are multiples of 5. How do you respond?

That would be incorrect because that way you would be double-counting those integers that are both multiples of 3 and 5, such as 15k where k is an integer less than 1000/15.
