The number of positive integers less than 5000 that are divisible by neither 3 nor 7.

 

Number  of integers divisible by 3  =   1666

 

Number of integers divisble by 7  =  714

 

Number of integers divisible by 3 and 7  =  5000/21    =  238  (Double Counting... )

 

So.....The number of positive integers less than 5000 that are divisible by neither 3 nor 7 =

 

4999 - 1666 - 714  + 238   =  2857

I believe this is correct.....but.......I'm not totally sure

 

Number  of integers divisible by 3  =   1666

 

Number of integers divisble by 7  =  714

 

Number of integers divisible by 3 and 7  =  5000/21    =  238

 

So.....The number of positive integers less than 5000 that are divisible by neither 3 nor 7 =

 

4999 - 1666 - 714  - 238   =  

 

2381

 

Could someone else check this answer  ??
