Math Problem Statement
How many integers between 1 and 100 (inclusive) are divisible by 5?
Solution
The problem asks, "How many integers between 1 and 100 (inclusive) are divisible by 5?"
To solve this:
- The integers divisible by 5 are of the form , where is an integer.
- We need to find all such integers from 1 to 100.
The smallest number divisible by 5 in this range is , and the largest number divisible by 5 is .
Thus, the integers divisible by 5 are .
