Problem
Let , and
for
. How many terms in the sequence
are even?
Solution 1
We calculate more terms: We find a pattern: if
is a multiple of
, then the term is even, or else it is odd. There are
multiples of
from
to
.

Solution 2
Like in the other solution, we find a pattern, except in a more rigorous way.
Since we start with and
, the next term is
.
We start with odd, then odd, then (the sum of odd and odd) even, (the sum of odd and even) odd, and so on. Basically the pattern goes: odd, odd, even, odd odd, even, odd, odd even…
When we take we get
with a remainder of one. So we have
full cycles, and an extra odd at the end.
Therefore, there are evens.
