HOW MANY NUMBERS FROM 0 TO 999 ARE NOT DIVISIBLE BY EITHER 5 0R 7
- A.
313
- B.
341
- C.
686
- D.
786
Correct Answer
C. 686Explanation
The numbers from 0 to 999 that are not divisible by either 5 or 7 can be found by subtracting the numbers that are divisible by 5 or 7 from the total number of numbers from 0 to 999. To find the numbers divisible by 5, we divide 999 by 5 and round down to get 199. To find the numbers divisible by 7, we divide 999 by 7 and round down to get 142. However, we have counted the numbers divisible by both 5 and 7 twice, so we need to add back the numbers divisible by 35. To find the numbers divisible by 35, we divide 999 by 35 and round down to get 28. Therefore, the total number of numbers not divisible by either 5 or 7 is 999 - (199 + 142 - 28) = 686.Rate this question:
