First, we look at 1000 mod 21 and 2000 mod 21. 1000 is congruent to 13 mod 21, and 2000 is congruent to 5 mod 21. We are trying to find how many numbers between 1000 and 2000 are congruent to 3 mod 21. The greatest number is 21*95+3=1998 and the least number is 21*48+3=1011. Because it cycles every 21 numbers, there are 95-48+1=\(48\) numbers that satisfy this property

 

Feel free to tell me if I did anything wrong! :D
