- The following problem is from both the 2001 AMC 12 #12 and 2001 AMC 10 #25, so both problems redirect to this page.
Problem
How many positive integers not exceeding are multiples of
or
but not
?
Solution
Out of the numbers to
four are divisible by
and three by
, counting
twice.
Hence
out of these
numbers are multiples of
or
.
The same is obviously true for the numbers to
for any positive integer
.
Hence out of the numbers to
there are
numbers that are divisible by
or
.
Out of these
, the numbers
,
,
,
,
and
are divisible by
.
Therefore in the set
there are precisely
numbers that satisfy all criteria from the problem statement.
Again, the same is obviously true for the set for any positive integer
.
We have , hence there are
good numbers among the numbers
to
. At this point we already know that the only answer that is still possible is
, as we only have
numbers left.
By examining the remaining by hand we can easily find out that exactly
of them match all the criteria, giving us
good numbers.
