Math Problem Statement

Determine the number of positive integer n, 1 ≀ 𝑛 ≀ 2000 that are not divisible by 2, 3 or 5 but are divisible by 7

Solution

We need to determine the number of positive integers nn such that 1≀n≀20001 \leq n \leq 2000 that are not divisible by 2, 3, or 5, but are divisible by 7.

Step 1: Identify numbers divisible by 7

First, we find the range of numbers divisible by 7 within the given range 1≀n≀20001 \leq n \leq 2000.

The smallest number divisible by 7 is 7Γ—1=77 \times 1 = 7. The largest number divisible by 7 and less than or equal to 2000 is 7Γ—285=19957 \times 285 = 1995.

So, the numbers divisible by 7 within the range are: 7,14,21,…,19957, 14, 21, \ldots, 1995

The number of terms in this sequence is: n=1995βˆ’77+1=285n = \frac{1995 - 7}{7} + 1 = 285

So, there are 285 numbers divisible by 7 in the range.

Step 2: Remove numbers divisible by 2, 3, or 5

Next, we need to subtract the numbers divisible by 2, 3, or 5 from this set.

Numbers divisible by both 7 and 2:

These numbers are divisible by 7Γ—2=147 \times 2 = 14. The smallest is 14Γ—1=1414 \times 1 = 14 and the largest is 14Γ—142=198814 \times 142 = 1988. The number of such terms is: 1988βˆ’1414+1=142\frac{1988 - 14}{14} + 1 = 142

Numbers divisible by both 7 and 3:

These numbers are divisible by 7Γ—3=217 \times 3 = 21. The smallest is 21Γ—1=2121 \times 1 = 21 and the largest is 21Γ—95=199521 \times 95 = 1995. The number of such terms is: 1995βˆ’2121+1=95\frac{1995 - 21}{21} + 1 = 95

Numbers divisible by both 7 and 5:

These numbers are divisible by 7Γ—5=357 \times 5 = 35. The smallest is 35Γ—1=3535 \times 1 = 35 and the largest is 35Γ—57=199535 \times 57 = 1995. The number of such terms is: 1995βˆ’3535+1=57\frac{1995 - 35}{35} + 1 = 57

Step 3: Apply the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle

Now, we need to account for overlaps between these sets.

Numbers divisible by 7, 2, and 3:

These numbers are divisible by 7Γ—2Γ—3=427 \times 2 \times 3 = 42. The smallest is 42Γ—1=4242 \times 1 = 42 and the largest is 42Γ—47=197442 \times 47 = 1974. The number of such terms is: 1974βˆ’4242+1=47\frac{1974 - 42}{42} + 1 = 47

Numbers divisible by 7, 2, and 5:

These numbers are divisible by 7Γ—2Γ—5=707 \times 2 \times 5 = 70. The smallest is 70Γ—1=7070 \times 1 = 70 and the largest is 70Γ—28=196070 \times 28 = 1960. The number of such terms is: 1960βˆ’7070+1=28\frac{1960 - 70}{70} + 1 = 28

Numbers divisible by 7, 3, and 5:

These numbers are divisible by 7Γ—3Γ—5=1057 \times 3 \times 5 = 105. The smallest is 105Γ—1=105105 \times 1 = 105 and the largest is 105Γ—19=1995105 \times 19 = 1995. The number of such terms is: 1995βˆ’105105+1=19\frac{1995 - 105}{105} + 1 = 19

Numbers divisible by 7, 2, 3, and 5:

These numbers are divisible by 7Γ—2Γ—3Γ—5=2107 \times 2 \times 3 \times 5 = 210. The smallest is 210Γ—1=210210 \times 1 = 210 and the largest is 210Γ—9=1890210 \times 9 = 1890. The number of such terms is: 1890βˆ’210210+1=9\frac{1890 - 210}{210} + 1 = 9

Final Calculation:

Using the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle: Total Count=285βˆ’(142+95+57)+(47+28+19)βˆ’9\text{Total Count} = 285 - (142 + 95 + 57) + (47 + 28 + 19) - 9 Total Count=285βˆ’294+94βˆ’9=76\text{Total Count} = 285 - 294 + 94 - 9 = 76

Thus, the number of positive integers nn such that 1≀n≀20001 \leq n \leq 2000, not divisible by 2, 3, or 5, but divisible by 7 is 76.
