Problem
There are exactly 
even positive integers less than or equal to 
that are divisible by 
. What is the sum of all possible positive integer values of ?
Solution
must have exactly 5 even multiples less than . We have two cases, either is odd or even. If is even, then 
. We solve the inequality to find 
, but since must be an integer we have x = 18, 20. If is odd, then we can set up the inequality 
. Solving for the integers must be 
. The sum is 
or
