Question 888433:  "How many numbers between 1 and 1000 contain a 39?"  
 Answer by JulietG(1812)      (Show Source): 
You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Do you mean the DIGITS 39 in order, or a multiple of 39? 
If a multiple, divide 1000/39 to get 25 and change. 
If you mean the digits, then... 
39 
139 
239 
339 
439 
539 
639 
739 
839 
939 
but that's not all!  Don't forget the ones that BEGIN with 
390 
391 
392 
393 
394 
395 
396 
397 
398 
399 
I get twenty.  How 'bout you?
