- 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.
