Problem
Determine the number of integers such that
and
is divisible by
.
Solution
We see a pattern when we look at the numbers that do fulfill this property. The first number is . Then
. This follows a pattern. The first number being
, and the rest being the previous:
. This sequence then repeats itself. We hence find that there are a total of
or
numbers that satisfy the inequality.
