Problem
How many of the first 
numbers in the sequence 
are divisible by 
?
Solution
Note that 
for some odd 
will suffice 
. Each 
, so the answer is 
(AOPS12142015)
Solution 2
If we divide each number by , we see a pattern occuring in every 4 numbers. 
. We divide by 
to get 
with 
left over. One divisible number will be in the left over, so out answer is .
