from 1 to 1000:

 

2^0, 2^1, ..., 2^9 (10 numbers)

3^0, 3^1, ..., 3^6 (7 numbers)

 

2^0 = 3^0 = 1 was counted twice, so 16 numbers from 1 to 1000

 

 

from 1/1000 to 1:

 

1/2^9, 1/2^8, ..., 1/2 (9 numbers)

1/3^6, 1/3^5, ..., 1/3 (6 numbers)

 

Therre are 15 numbers from 1/1000 to 1.

 

 

Overall, there are 31 numbers.
