Problem
How many integers between 1000 and 2000 have all three of the numbers 15, 20, and 25 as factors?
Solution 1
Find the least common multiple of by turning the numbers into their prime factorization. Gather all necessary multiples when multiplied gets . The multiples of . The number of multiples between 1000 and 2000 is .
Solution 2
Using the previous solution, turn and into their prime factorizations. Notice that can be prime factorized into: Now take the lowest common multiple of and : \[ \setlength\extrarowheight{2pt} \begin{array}{@{}l|l@{}} 2 & 48,72,108\\ \cline{2-2} 2 & 24,36,54\\ \cline{2-2} 3 & 12,18,27\\ \cline{2-2} \arrayrulecolor{red} \color{red}3 & 4,6,9\\ \cline{2-2} \color{red}2 & 4,2,3\\ \cline{2-2} \multicolumn{1}{c}{} & 2,1,3 \end{array} \] Using this, we can remove all the common factors of and that are shared with : We must also cancel the same factors in :
The remaining numbers left of , and ( and ) yield: Thus, counting these numbers we get our answer of: .
