Problem
For how many positive integers n less than or equal to 
is 
evenly divisible by 
?
Solution
Since 
, the condition is equivalent to having an integer value for 
. This reduces, when 
, to having an integer value for 
. This fraction is an integer unless 
is an odd prime. There are 8 odd primes less than or equal to 25, so there are 
numbers less than or equal to 24 that satisfy the condition.
