    integers

    Form: Ask a Question
    Posted by: ndemir

    what is the total number of integers between 100 and 200 that are divisible by 3?
    a-33
    b-32
    c-31
    d-30
    e-29

    is there a method or a quick way to solve this problem?

    Thanks,

    100 is not divisible by 3
    so we can take (200-100)/3 => 100/3 => 33.3

    So 33 integers are divisble.

    IMO A

    first number divisible by 3 = 102
    last number divisibl by 3 = 198
    198 - 102 = 96
    96 / 3= 32 number after 102.. including 102 = total 33 numbers.

    I like the theman1 approach too..

    102/3=34
    198/3=66
    so total nbrs in betn excluding both = 66-34-1=31.
