what is the number between 800 and 900 which is exactly divisible by 13 and 17
Answers
First let us divide the number 300 by 17.
We get,
300/17 = 17 x 17 + 11
Since the remainder is 11, the next multiple of 17 would be (300 +6) = 306
306 = 17 x 18
Now dividing 900 by 17 we get,
900/17 = 17 x 52 + 16
Since the remainder is 16 only 1 needs to be added to 900 to get the next multiple.
So 901 is a multiple of 17.
But we need numbers between 300 and 900. So the previous multiple is
901 - 17 = 884
884 = 17 X 52
Since the first 18th multiple is above 300, that means we can ignore the previous 17 multiples of 17.
So,
52 - 17 = 35
There are 35 numbers lying between 300 and 900 that are divisible by 17.
